disguise AV Integration Media server/show control technology platform for the elevator media experience, credited as "Disguise (elevator)" in SEGD's collaborator list; disguise's own case-study writeup of this project likewise describes disguise as the technology partnered in via Electrosonic, not as the content/creative author (THG Creative held that role). This is base disguise platform/technology supply, not a Disguise Creative Services production credit (researched 2026-07-18; Creative Services does not meet the 3-project inclusion bar for North American built physical spaces — see research notes). .
