On May 12, Jacob Slevin, Co-Founder of DesignerPages.com and Guest Curator of Huff Post Art's Design Thursdays posted an article on HuffingtonPost.com on "Trend Forecasting: Digital Surfaces to Transform Spatial Design" that highlighted Planar displays that exemplify creative and dynamic digital design in a variety installation environments.

In his article, Slevin showed a number of examples that have led him to predict that "digital surfaces will emerge as a leading material and surface in the coming years, one which will be specified and installed by both design professionals and homeowners alike."

Two prominent Planar Clarity Matrix Video Wall installations made the list: Planar's 2X4 video wall display in the lobby of the Hotel Deluxe in Portland, Oregon, and the large Matrix display wall at the Kentucky Derby Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. Slevin described the Kentucky Derby Museum installation as capturing "the same kind of heart-pounding excitement that captures the spirit of their organization, located in a traditional museum with otherwise static exhibits."

To view Jacob Slevin's full list of digital design examples, read his article on HuffingtonPost.com. Additional examples of Planar digital walls on video canvases can be seen on the Planar "Design Inspiration" gallery.
