Pixi light installation

WERC created a digital organism, inspired by the complex patterns that exist in nature, such as flocks of birds and schools of fish. With Pixi, WERC wants to find out whether a technical natural phenomenon can imitate the complex aesthetics of nature, and whether the installation can interact with that nature. The Pixi was designed to be self-sufficient; able to survive in a natural environment. Pixies make their own choices, but they are also influenced by environmental factors from nature. Each Pixi contains a pulsating light. When we observe only a handful of Pixies, there are no discernible behavioural patterns. However, when we step back and look at them from a distance, the connections in the flock become clear and visible. A group intelligence arises that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Pixi is a light installation of Groningen based artist collective WERC, supported by the province of Drenthe (the Netherlands) commissioned by staatsbosbeheer.

Immersive triple-screen audiovisual installation

Kwok’s Algorithmic Creatures based on finite subdivision, 1194D (vimeo.com/74877028) is an experiment on multiple geometric creatures co-existing within a tetrahedron-based grid environment. The project was improved and revised into an immersive triple-screen audiovisual installation.

The entire visual is programmed and generated using Processing (processing.org/). All stages are later composed and exported using Premiere. The soundtrack is mac os and windows (re:interpretation) by + (freemusicarchive.org/music/_2810/FugaYK/mac_os_and_windows_reinterpretation).

Interactive LED floor with tracking

Visual System created realtime animation graphics over interactive led floor, with cutting edge indoor tracking technology for Adidas in Paris.

SF LED mapping installation

nVoid developed a generative playback system and LED mapping for this beautiful LED installation in San Francisco. The piece responds to external sensors that influence the content and displays local weather for the residents of the building.
