Moment Factory played a central role in the co-creative direction of the four shows, collaborating closely with Show Director Abigail Rosen Holmes. The studio's involvement extended to set design, video design, and production, as well as contributing to lighting concepts in collaboration with the band's longtime lighting designer, Chris Kuroda.
Moment Factory takes a future-forward approach to real-time generative video content, bringing unique visuals to the world's highest-resolution LED screen each night. Combining scenographic elements, 360° live performance capture, technologies including Unreal and Notch, pre-rendered imagery, and visuals generated with the assistance of AI, Moment Factory uses a number of tools and techniques never before seen at Sphere.
"Phish Live at Sphere is an incredibly audacious project that we are thrilled to have worked on. We feel extremely privileged to have legendary bands like Phish entrusting us with creating immersive universes around their music and identity, enabling them to connect with fans in completely new ways. Moment Factory got its start VJing in the late 90s, and we are particularly proud, nearly 25 years later, to have maintained this initial passion. We are now pushing it to an unprecedented level, creating the longest-ever real-time content show on the world's most immersive canvas at Sphere," says Daniel Jean, Producer for Shows, Moment Factory.
Powered by the venue's 21st-century technologies, each show in the four-night series is set apart by a curated setlist, Phish's signature improvisation, and a customized orchestration of music, visuals, and lighting.
Rising to this creative and technical challenge, the team worked closely with a trusted network of collaborators, including Disguise, whose innovative platform powered Moment Factory's extensive hours of pre-rendered and real-time visual content on a sprawling 16K x 16K resolution canvas. Fuse Technical Group served as the technical integrator for the video system, managing the incorporation of Moment Factory's content onto servers and providing supplementary servers for real-time content delivery. Moment Factory also enlisted Fly Studio, Myreze, and Sila Sveta for screen content production; Troublemakers for audio design during Phish's stage entrance; and Picnic Dinner Studios and Totem Studio for 2D animations during the intermission.
Phish Live at Sphere marks the Montreal-based studio's seventh and most ambitious collaboration with the prolific rock band. Their long-term creative partnership includes previous concerts at Madison Square Garden and the MGM Grand.
This latest undertaking highlights Moment Factory's expertise in hijacking technologies to create innovative entertainment - artificial intelligence serving as a prime example. Integrating AI seamlessly into workflows and customizing the technology to meet production demands supports the studio's commitment to innovation, collaboration, and pushing creative boundaries. Moment Factory embraces AI as a tool for pioneering new aesthetics, modes of engagement, and experiences that blend digital and physical worlds.

LiberNovo: From Spring Cleaning to Physical Renewal12.3.2026 09:00:00 CET | Press release
HONG KONG, HK / ACCESS Newswire / March 12, 2026 / As the annual ritual of spring cleaning approaches, a new movement in functional design is shifting the focus from tidying desks to restoring the bodies that sit at them. LiberNovo, a pioneer in health-first design, has announced its spring initiative: a fundamental reimagining of the smart workspace that prioritizes physical fluidity over static organization. New Season, New Standards For decades, office chair ergonomics centered on the "90-degree rule"-a rigid posture that modern research suggests is counterproductive. The true culprit of office fatigue isn't just sitting; it is the lack of movement. Prolonged static positions compress the spine and reduce circulation. LiberNovo's philosophy asserts that a "Spring Reset" is incomplete if it only addresses surface-level clutter while leaving the body in a state of constant strain. Engineering Movement At the core of this movement is the LiberNovo Omni, a chair designed to master Dynam

Tenstorrent Unveils TT-QuietBox(TM) 2, the First RISC-V AI Workstation With a Fully Open-Source Stack to Deliver Teraflop-Class Inference11.3.2026 17:00:00 CET | Press release
Liquid-Cooled Desktop System Runs Models up to 120B Parameters Locally With a Fully Open-Source Stack, Starting at $9,999 SANTA CLARA, CA / ACCESS Newswire / March 11, 2026 / Tenstorrent, the AI computing company led by CEO Jim Keller, today announced TT-QuietBox™ 2 (Blackhole™). This whisper-quiet, liquid-cooled AI workstation runs models up to 120 billion parameters directly at your desk, ships with an entirely open-source software stack from compiler to kernel, and starts at $9,999. It marks the industry's first desktop AI workstation built on RISC-V architecture to deliver teraflop-class inference. The Inference Imperative The timing matters. Inference has quietly overtaken training as the dominant AI workload, now accounting for more than 55% of cloud AI infrastructure spending at $37.5 billion - and it is still accelerating. Yet, developers running these workloads face a stark choice: pay per-token cloud fees that compound as usage scales, or buy hardware locked to proprietary st
