Here and Now

2021 - Multi-Channel Interactive Installation

"Here and Now" was designed as an immersive and interactive installation built with TouchDesigner. The piece revolves around the real-time, multi-input interaction between GPU particle effects and an ambient electronic sound piece that I composed in Ableton Live.

Within the patch, the audio waves of the composition are separated according to the range of their frequencies with each having its own unique visual effects on the patch.

To add an element of live interaction, multiple video inputs are utilized, capturing the movements and gestures of users as they navigate through the installation.

Since the piece was designed during the Covid-19 pandemic, a goal was to design an interactive piece that would allow users to feel connected in spite of the isolation required by social distancing.
