Traditional & Street Art
While in Mexico City, will.i.am visited Museo Soumaya, designed and built to house the art collection of the world’s richest man, Carlos Slim. Free to the public, this museum gives all who visit an opportunity to appreciate traditional works of art from around the world. Will.i.am also collaborated with Sego to create a one-of-a-kind mural.

Wrestling Actors & Artists at Arena Coliseo
If you asked a bunch of artists to invent a sport, Lucha Libre is probably what they would come up with. The Ultrabook Project tour visited Arena Coliseo where these performers treated the crowd to a thrilling super-hero type performance with spectacular costumes.
The Ultrabook Project & Timeline Content — music, art, and technology
The Mexico City Timeline experience in the Ultrabook Project enables you to explore the content in a new way. As the music plays, the content streams horizontally for you to read and explore further. You can listen and click into any of the photos or videos at any time, and the music pauses automatically. Plus, you can even comment and share with your Facebook friends, right from the experience.
