Frequently Asked Questions

Creos works with organizations that share a common goal: attracting visitors and bringing public spaces to life every day. Through temporary interactive art installations, these organizations transform their spaces into vibrant gathering places that encourage people to stop, interact, and extend their visit while supporting the local economy. In addition, Creos installations offer an intuitive experience that requires no facilitation.

Creos interactive installations are designed to increase the appeal of public spaces and support continuous activation. With more than 500 projects delivered across 130 cities in 15 countries, Creos consistently observes increased foot traffic, longer visitor dwell time, and greater visibility across social media.
These outcomes help revitalize downtowns, support local businesses, and strengthen the brand image of destinations.

Unlike a one-time event, a Creos interactive installation activates a public space continuously throughout its presentation period. It is freely accessible, operates without fixed hours, and requires minimal day-to-day operations. This approach enables public space managers to offer an engaging, accessible experience at all times while transforming their space into an attractive destination for residents, visitors, and tourists.

Creos interactive installations are designed for organizations looking to attract more visitors, activate their public spaces, and create experiences that bring people together. They are particularly well suited for municipalities, organizations that program or manage public spaces, downtown economic development organizations, event and festival producers, and managers of commercial sites, real estate developments, and tourist destinations.

Contact Creos for a personalized estimate tailored to your public space, schedule, and project goals. 

Creos manages the key stages of your project to simplify deployment for your team. Depending on the installation selected, a turnkey project includes: 

• Local, national, or international transportation
• Installation and dismantling coordination
• On-site training and support
• Technical support throughout the presentation period
• Press kit and photo/video content library
• Marketing guidance and best practices toolkit

Several strategies can help optimize your investment, including using local installation crews, presenting multiple installations during the same period, or coordinating logistics with neighboring organizations. Creos works closely with every client to identify the most cost-effective options based on their location, schedule, and objectives.

Hosting a Creos interactive installation generally requires commercial general liability insurance as well as property insurance covering the installation throughout its presentation period. Most organizations already have this coverage as part of their standard insurance policies. Specific requirements may vary depending on the location, region, and project. The Creos team will help you confirm the coverage applicable to your situation.

Creos supports its clients throughout every stage of the project to simplify deployment and help ensure its success:

• Project planning and coordination (installation selection and project schedule)
• Validation of technical and logistical requirements (site plan, delivery, installation layout, power requirements)
• Communications and marketing support
• Installation and dismantling assistance
• On-site team training
• 24/7 technical support throughout the presentation period

Installation typically takes one day, depending on the selected installation, and requires a local crew of two to seven people.

Most installations require access to a nearby standard electrical connection (plug-and-play). A forklift or pallet jack is generally required for installation and dismantling. If you do not have a local crew or the required equipment, we can connect you with trusted teams who can handle the work.

Creos interactive installations are designed for unsupervised public access and generally do not require dedicated security personnel. A daily visual inspection is recommended to confirm that the installation remains in good condition. If the site already has security staff or routine patrols, it is simply recommended that they be informed of the installation’s presence.

Creos designs robust installations built for intensive public use and a wide range of weather conditions. If an unexpected issue arises, Creos provides prompt support to restore the installation to full operation as quickly as possible. 

Specifically, this includes:

• 24/7 technical support
• Remote troubleshooting and diagnostics
• On-site intervention by a Chief  installer when required
• Preventive maintenance visits for long-term presentations
