An installation 8 modules sculpture of 4 cubic meters. A relatively small version of the Dragon, allowed it to be installed in the party room of the Wanda Stadium despite the low ceiling height. A special structure was designed so that the light sculpture was totally self-sustaining. Only 3 hours were necessary for the assembly and operation of the entire set. The dolly structure allowed the installation to be easily moved once assembled. A small, versatile, and adaptable powerful version of Dragon.
Rigging: Customized Dolly (Dragobot)
Audio reactive setup
The event was a cocktail party. We setup a special program meant to obtain data from the DJ booth (bpm, frequencies, etc.) through the control PC microphone which was directly analyzed and transformed into volumetric variations in real-time.
Different frequency ranges were assigned to different types of variation automatically synced to the rhythm of the music, and also considering manual variations according to the genre and the intention of the artist. Programming was done in TouchDesigner and the final part was run in combination with Resolume.
Dancing Avatar.
A special avatar was designed to have different dance variations based on the rhythm and the frequencies of the tracks. It also generated transformations in the luminosity and texturized color that could also be linked to special visual effects such as particle dispersion or blur.
The future of technology will be based on a perfect synchronization of elements that together create enhanced experiences.
In a playful environment full of sophistication, the DragonO installation shone to the rhythm of the music, generating a surreal environment. It was seen as a futuristic sculpture that reflects the values of the brand and at the same time, it was a powerful tool to increase the scenic emotion and sensation of audiovisual synchrony.
