Installation / USC ArtScape

Synesthesia

Role: Visual programming, projection mapping, and visual design
Team: 6 people
Time: Six months
Tools: TouchDesigner, Projection mapping
Result: 2000+ visitors

What would it feel like to see sound? For ArtScape, a USC art installation event, my 6-person team of engineers and designers spent six months building a sensory-blending installation around that idea.

What I did

I programmed the entire audiovisualizer in TouchDesigner, a node-based visual development platform, and led the visual design and projection mapping. I also helped build the physical set and rig the equipment.
