Co.Labs (via Innovation Saskatchewan)
Co.Labs, Suite 110, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
2026

Co.Labs is Saskatchewan's technology accelerator, and their new Saskatoon office needed more than decoration. Three walls, each experienced completely differently: a feature wall you stand in front of at the entry, a 67-foot corridor you walk past, and a 13-foot end wall you arrive at. They had to work as one coordinated system rather than three separate paintings, support wayfinding through the space, and speak to what the companies there actually build without resorting to literal tech imagery.
The mural runs as three coordinated walls, and the sequence follows how you move through the office: introduction, exploration, convergence.
Signal is the identity moment, on the feature wall in the lounge. A stylized Saskatoon landscape with the Broadway Bridge acting as the connector across it, plus a rocket, Canada geese and rising forms for growth and momentum. Signal waves and pixel patterns layer the language of technology into the place itself.
Continuum is the spatial connector, 67 feet along the main corridor. Node clusters, pixel grids and modular forms reference networked thinking and system architecture, and an observing eye stands in for machine vision - AI made tangible through abstraction rather than circuit-board cliche. It unfolds as you walk, resolving from no single vantage point.
Foundation anchors the south end of the workspace. The same visual language compresses into a denser, almost mosaic arrangement - agriculture, energy, networks, experimentation - with the prairie threading through as a constant. Individual components interlock into something larger. This is where the ideas converge.
Hand-painted in Benjamin Moore Scuff-X matte, low-VOC so the work could happen alongside a working office. A WebAR layer sits on top of the paint: scan a code on site, point a phone at the wall, and elements animate in place with no app install.
