Installation Art, Sound-Reactive Art, Programming, Projection Mapping


 This audio-visual immersive installation features 10 synchronized animations projected onto distinct abstract and geometric surfaces. The animations respond in real-time to captured sounds, with specific frequencies triggering corresponding visual effects. Varied surfaces act as analog animators, transforming the same animation into diverse visual outputs. Visitors are invited to freely navigate and weave through the space or find a cozy spot amidst the surfaces as rays of light envelop their surroundings. The sounds they make within the space alter the animations in real-time, creating an ever-evolving, interactive experience.
















Process


Months after months of photographic and material exploration preceded the final installation, as I projected patterns, typography and more onto various surfaces: liquid or solid. A range of lighting outocmes were tested, from color, to low to high contrast monotone, until a special configuration was preferred. 

01 Color and Blur

Projections are combined with various tehcniques in slow shutter, as well as materials placed between lens of projector and projection, as well as between the lens of the camera itself and the projection. How to manipulate and control a pattern thgouh opticsa, color, movement and softness. 





02 Water Surface

Projections onto varied depths of water, variable typefaces created from splash and movement. 
 







03 Physical Surface:


Variety of materials, oragami techniques, slick and matte surfaces...
