celestials - mapped projection
-steel & light sculpture-
When my wife and I first toured @TheLoft.SF I dreamed of creating an epic installation to go on the double height east wall. Tesseract (Major) was the first Celestial I created specifically for that wall, and while it was pretty epic it didn't seem quite grand enough for our huge double height living room.
At our first large gathering, on a whim, I projected abstract visuals across the wall and over the top of Tesseract. The projection made the acrylic glow as if it was being backlit in a way I didn't expect. All of a sudden there was infinite potential in how we could transform the room into an immersive space with projection.
Since then I've been teaching myself After Effects and Stable Diffusion to create custom content to play at events and gatherings. We have also have had great success adding these techniques to other sculptures and event production as well.
