This project was an immersive pop-up located on Grand Street in SoHo, inspired by manga-media cult classics Akira + Attack on Titan.
Our team was asked to create 2 timeline-based video booths replicating moments from the Kodansha-produced anime classics.
I was responsible for replicating the compositions for both booths in TouchDesigner, as well as creating 2 functional GUIs for back-of-house monitoring and control. In addition to this, I was involved in the interactive development, installation, and monitoring of this project.
Special thanks to Susan Linns, Jeff Nash, Cam Vokey, Ashur Rayis, Dave Tennent, and many more who made this project happen!
