When creative studio SOSO was tapped to design a surprise and delight moment in a newly revived building, they dreamed up Wish Fountain. Inspired by San Diego’s natural ocean environment, the interactive art installation mimics a wishing well and the surface of its water once a coin is tossed in. For visitors to interact with Wish Fountain, all they need to do is send a text message to a posted phone number – it can be an image or words – answering a prompt that’s displayed on nearby screens.

Each wish is kept a secret, thanks to a cloud server that pulls from online visual resources to decipher the content of each message. The wishes are then transformed into a colorful light show that travels across a rippled round bench and over wall-mounted screens. Wish Fountain is visible to all entrances and levels of the building, giving viewers the chance to impact their environment.
