Phish made a big splash in Las Vegas with their opening night at Sphere, dazzling the audience with imagery in a show whose creative/design team features Abigail Rosen Holmes, Moment Factory, Chris Kuroda, Atomic Design, and Tait. Co-creative directors Abigail Rosen Holmes and Jean-Baptise Hardoin of Moment Factory worked closely with Phish long-time lighting designer Chris Kuroda, so that the lighting and massive video images mesh together to build the dynamic visual experience at Sphere, with its massive, immersive LED walls.

The video Is being executed through Sockpuppet (which fully implements DMX & OSC controls into Disguise software on a grandMA3), with programming by Benjamin Roy, Earlybird, and additional programming by Andrew Giffin. Content includes pre rendered pieces, as well as generative content created with Unreal and Notch. The primary Disguise server system is in-house to MSG with additional equipment, programming, and processors — and extraordinary technical support provided by Fuse.
Each of the four Phish shows — April 18, 19, 20 & 21 at Sphere — features a unique set list and visuals.
