Bedrock's Strategic Vision

Urban Transformation Leadership: Bedrock’s inception of the Electrifly project aligns with its ethos of transforming urban spaces into vibrant cultural hubs. By integrating augmented reality into public art, Bedrock not only reimagined the urban experience but also demonstrated foresight in embracing cutting-edge technology.

Cultivating Collaborative Synergies: The success of the Electrifly Detroit Immersive Art Gallery was underpinned by Bedrock’s strategic partnerships with BrandXR for technology and Electrifly for creative content.

The Project

Reimagining Real Estate with Immersive Art: The gallery, situated in the historic First National Building in Downtown Detroit, MI was more than an art exhibit. It was a bold statement on the potential of real estate to act as a canvas for cultural expression and technological innovation.

Curatorial Acumen: Bedrock’s role extended to the curation of artworks. Selecting pieces that resonated with Detroit’s spirit, Bedrock ensured that each piece told a story of the city’s rich cultural tapestry, appealing to a diverse audience.

Implementation

Navigating Urban Development Challenges: Leveraging its expertise in real estate development, Bedrock skillfully managed logistical and spatial challenges, and helped BrandXR and Electrifly transform a conventional space into an interactive art haven.

Community-Centric Approach: True to its mission, Bedrock ensured that the gallery became a nexus for community engagement, hosting events and workshops that fostered local participation and cultural exchange.

Community Involvement: Bedrock's initiative went beyond displaying art; it encouraged community participation. The gallery hosted interactive workshops and cultural events, fostering a sense of community and ownership among residents. This engagement is critical in urban revitalization, as it promotes a vibrant and active community.

Boosting Local Economy: The gallery attracted an average of over 100 visitors daily, increasing foot traffic and subsequently benefiting local businesses. This influx of visitors can be linked to a positive economic impact in the surrounding area.
Property Value Enhancement: As a real estate developer, Bedrock’s integration of art and technology in property development potentially increased the attractiveness and value of the surrounding real estate, showcasing an innovative approach to urban renewal.
