As Chance expands the scope of Star Line, he's been engaging fans through a series of immersive, multi-sensory art experiences called Writings on the Wall: a Star Line listening experience. These intimate gatherings offer fans a personal experience with the Star Lineproject. Attendees can view physical artworks up close, watch music videos, listen to unreleased music, and engage in conversations with Chance about how the different mediums resonate with them. To encourage full presence, phones are not allowed, and fans are given notebooks to jot down thoughts and questions for the live Q&A with Chance. Subwoofers shake the floors, letting attendees physically feel the music, while each receives headphones and oversized bean bags for a private listening experience. Lyrics and videos are projected on the walls, enhancing the immersive atmosphere.
Following the success of events in New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Washington DC, Chance is bringing Writings on the Wall: a Star Line listening experience to more cities.
Chance has been carefully curating all aspects of his Star Line project, alongside its interdisciplinary companion, Star Line Gallery.
