The projection on each sphere is of brain and neural imagery mixed in with a live feed of each participant's face. Every so often, the faces of the participant's are swapped creating a mind-boggling experience for both participants as well as the audience of their friends. Furthering the experience are biologic projections on numerous scrims suspended and wrapped throughout the space of the installation. http://vjculture.com/Goldfinger http://vjculture.com/following/vjculture.com/Goldfinger Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:46:46 +0000 VJ Culture / LUMENS 1139864 A projection mapped, suspended cube where the opposing rotation of the cube and the video produce a bizarre morphing. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_4X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_4X_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_3X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_3X_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_2X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="368" width_o="500" height_o="368" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_2X_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_1X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="375" width_o="500" height_o="375" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139864/cube_1X_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://vjculture.com/Goldie3 http://vjculture.com/following/vjculture.com/Goldie3 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:44:16 +0000 VJ Culture / LUMENS 1139866 VJ Goldie3 was comisioned by the City of Santa Monica Arts Commission for the 2008 GLOW festival. The tank for our studio pet, Goldie3, was mapped into 8 distinct regions, each with an assigned video effect programmed in MAX/MSP/Jitter. Goldie3's swim pattern through each region triggered each effect which was in turn applied to the video projected in the environment creating a dynamic and unpredictable pattern, until late in the evening when we noticed Goldie3 had a fatal wound inflicted by the other studio pet, a cat. http://vjculture.com/Goldie2 http://vjculture.com/following/vjculture.com/Goldie2 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 09:43:27 +0000 VJ Culture / LUMENS 1139851 Goldie was a one-night event in honor of the studio pets, Goldie 1 and Goldie2, fat goldfish. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139851/vjculture_goldie2_7X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="333" width_o="500" height_o="333" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139851/vjculture_goldie2_7X_o.jpg" align="left" /> 1.

A blender where Goldie2 swam around waiting for her fate. This installation was in response to a Danish artist's installation. In this version, the curiosity of the guests were also tested with a button with an alarming notice to "Do not Push!" with an illusion to the fish being pureed. However, when pushed, the guests would hear a blender but see projected visuals blended, Goldie2 remaining safe in her spot. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139851/vjculture_goldie2_2X.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="333" width_o="500" height_o="333" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/1139851/vjculture_goldie2_2X_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://vjculture.com/Latest http://vjculture.com/following/vjculture.com/Latest Thu, 27 Jan 2011 23:26:39 +0000 VJ Culture / LUMENS 750503 March_ We've got tons happening at SXSW in Austin, TX.

Grant created an installation of reflective tubes suspended by a Fast-fold screen frame. The illusion looks like LED tubes (Versa-Tubes) but instead it is projection mapping. Masked and perfectly aligned media designed for the tubes and much higher resolution than any LED tube. Thanks to Alan Joesph for filming the event; The Do Lab and David Starfire.

The vote results and facebook/twitter update were simultaneously updated in live animations on an LED screen. We also designed and fabricated custom secure iPad enclosures that allowed for the applications to run fullscreen and prevented people from navigating away from the application. http://vjculture.com/Red-Bull-Art-of-the-Can http://vjculture.com/following/vjculture.com/Red-Bull-Art-of-the-Can Thu, 19 Aug 2010 19:09:22 +0000 VJ Culture / LUMENS 579453 2005-2010 Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, Dallas, Singapore <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/579453/aoc houston 360 shoot.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/579453/aoc houston 360 shoot_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/579453/larry and the bull.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="750" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/26044/579453/larry and the bull_o.jpg" align="left" />
