StairWELL: art x tech x wellness | Purdue University

Collaborators from Purdue University and Innovators-in-Residence chromic duo are proud to announce the exciting arrival of StairWELL, a groundbreaking art installation designed and built at Purdue that builds wellness through interactive art and technology. From October 16 to 30, 2023, the Third Street Chill Zone near Martin Jischke Drive will come alive with an immersive interactive experience users may interact with via their mobile phones.

Using a novel combination of art, technology, and clinical psychology, the StairWELL installation aims create a sense of beauty, respite, and play via an inventive mobile phone interface. Viewers become participants in an expressive journey that creates community while also delivering powerful supportive connections where they may be needed.

StairWELL was designed and built at Purdue by Purdue Convocations, Hall of Music Productions, chromic duo, Purdue Polytechnic Institute, Counseling and Psychological Services, Steps to Leaps, and the Department of Theatre.
