Event & Space
Upstairs, ambient lounge and stage for Research, Seattle (Oct 10, 2025)
Research is a semi-private, inclusive party; visuals were designed to keep the floor clear and comfortable with attention focused towards the stage but with visuals also flowing onto walls and surfaces throughout the room creating an immersive experience for those lounging and watching the show. Artists from Berlin, NYC, SF, and many local talents came together to celebrate art, music and community.
Experience
Biomimicry and generative patterns emerge through a real-time audio reactive toolkit with spectrum analysis built in TouchDesigner, performed live to match varied audio. Five scrim planes and a short-throw projector create parallax and depth. Later in the night we switched to interactive mode, the same rig with a podium and controller so guests could immerse themselves in the visuals, learn more about the installation below!
