Here's the inside scoop 👇👇

There are infinite ways to explore light and use projectors 'incorrectly' and that's what i recommend. It's a controllable, digital source that helps you find unique aesthetics.

How can you manipulate it in new ways? Trial and error. Play. And discovery.

You don't need anything fancy to start, just get out there and start low balling people on marketplace.

39 stars... 146 attendees names... one epic moment.

Teamed up with @meetminneapolis on this aspirational creative concept, creating a big opening moment for conference attendees by featuring them in their own First Ave star 🌟

Built in @resolume and @affinity, I placed attendees names in rotation so that everyone would be featured and have a photo op.

Came together incredibly. Hit me up with what you're looking to do in 2026.

'A Peculiar Habitat' at WaterWork 2026 via @design.austin. 📸 by @essentialscreative

For this concept we built a scale model box for our protagonist to explore. The result was a larger than life story of isolation, exploration and release.

This turned out to be one of my favorotr projects of all time.

How i turned people into participants at @lumafestival 🕺 💃

This is an updated version of a project I've explored called "Light Walkers". For LUMA fest this year I was invited to present it as part of their "Small Works" showcase.

It works like this:
- subjects are picked up via Kinect and silhouettes are grabbed and cleaned up in @touchdesigner
- that is then sent over NDI to @resolume
- in resolume, we're running 3 outputs, two to outboard projectors that reflect back against the wall, the bodies are used as masks so your position and movements are turned into the colorful lumia output.
- then,the body mask is also sent to an ultra short throw projector and back onto the wall with different feedback stacks so that you get a distorted view of yourself

This was the main update to the piece, going from full abstract creation of the lumia to also seeing yourself in the piece as well so thay you start to see the relation between these two parts.

What do you think?
Where should this go next?
