Have you noticed the stunning LED screen and visuals this year at Rooftop?

Who is creating all of that magic?

Meet Dean Cheesman (@dcheesman), a creative technologist who programs the digital magic behind every band on our stage.

Dean, along with wife @natalielandrey, co-own a company (Self Similar) that creates interactive visuals. A large part of their work involves creating interactive LED walls for corporate events, sports arenas, and the like.

Some of Dean’s notable projects in addition to Rooftop, include a permanent LED wall installation in the Delta Center for the Utah Jazz . . .

An LED basketball court at the Bellagio in Las Vegas . . .

and a football throwing game on Radio Row at the Super Bowl. (He also recently did the AI visuals for the Queens of the Stoneage Tour!)

Dean has long had a personal interest in contributing to the music and arts scene in Provo. He founded “Buzzards and Bees,” a successful music festival with a Halloween twist that ran in Provo for years.

Want to book Dean for your corporate event? We won’t gate keep his email: dean@selfsimilar.studio by @dcheesman

New tutorial is up.

Built a virtual flip-dot display in TouchDesigner using POPs, feedback loops, dithering, and realtime rendering. Super fun technique and pretty flexible once the system is set up.

Would love to see people remix this one into weird stuff. by @dcheesman
