Once guests are checked in for their experience time, they are invited to wait in the orientation room.

This room acts as a holding chamber for timed groups, as well as an introductory film which guides visitors through a range of emotions and abstract thoughts.

There are 2x hidden NDI cameras in this room which capture preliminary interactions from guests.

After the conclusion of the introductory film, visitors head up a mirrored escalator passage known as Interpersonal.

On either side of the up-escalator, there is a built-in structure of angled mirrors and LED tubes. There are 3x ultrawide displays and an NDI camera hidden behind 2-way mirror panels. There is an additional NDI camera mounted on the ceiling at the far end of the 2nd floor, angled down the escalator.

The displays shine through the 2-way mirrors and appear within the mirror tunnel, while the camera feed is recorded and fed back into the system.

After storing their belongings and watching a brief introductory film, visitors are lead upstairs to the 2nd floor, where they enter a large ovular room with 360 degree audio and projections.

Visitors movements and presence are seen by 2 LiDAR sensors in the ceiling, and are encouraged to move around and interact with the projections.

My responsibilities included the pre-production and development of motion tracking, installation of the projectors and cables, and building a custom show control UI in TouchDesigner for playback and interactivity.

There was also a high level of coordination between construction, scenic work, sensor installation, lighting installation, DMX programming, and additional environmental features like haze and bubbles.

I also used TouchDesigner to create pre-visualization tools for creative development, as well as a unique visual sequence that was used as a part of the show.

Upon exiting the Intersensory dome, visitors move through a psychedelic garden full of lights and color.

There are 6x Arduino units and ultrasonic sensors which control lights and sounds- installed and programmed with Charlie Gangemi, Andrew Giugno, and MPC.

The 'Cymatic Well' is a large steel pan filled with water and surrounded by dichroic crystal structures. Originally conceptualized by Taliesin Gilkes-Bower- I worked with a small team to prototype controllers and test user experience at Chemistry Creative in Brooklyn.

After some iteration, we ended with 3 crystal balls that use a laser sensor- similar to the track ball of a computer mouse- and allow guests to control sound and play the installation like a large instrument.

There is a large transducer attached to the bottom of the well, which is fed and controlled by an Ableton Live session. The vibration from this transducer creates a number of distinct resonant patterns in the water, which are visible on the surface.

Due to the nature of cymatics and the shape of the vessel, only specific frequencies would create patterns on the water. Throughout development, I worked with Tommy Martinez to find the frequencies that would produce a pattern. Sound supervision was coordinated by Oliver Chapoy  and MPC, with speaker installation by Danny Taylor.

There are also a number of unique visual interactions that are triggered based on specific user participation and are displayed on the large LED wall behind the well.

Once visitors are finished on the 2nd floor, they descend another escalator into a dark, rocky cavern known as Internal.

After turning the corner and reaching the end of a long corridor, guests are invited to explore the walls of the chamber and look for motion activated control points. These control points work like a large organ, and play various ground-shaking tones when activated.

In the center of the room there is a volcano structure known as 'The Crucible.'

Here, guests are invited to release something into the fire. Inside the crucible there is a hidden Leap motion controller, which allows users to affect the audio around the room, while their hand appears in the LED wall in front of them.

Atop the LED wall there is an Azure sensor which reveals a glowing magma character when activated.

After leaving Internal, guests are guided through a nearly pitch-black room full of mechanical gongs and haptic floors, know as the Void- before moving to the last room, Interconnected.

Covered in all-white tiles and containing 10x large 4k displays, the Interconnected gallery replays the interactions of each user's experience.

Each display is linked to a camera feed from a specific interaction, and sources recordings from the past 2 hours of the exhibition. Movie files are stored on 1 of 4 servers and are erased daily to make room for storage efficiency and privacy.

On either side of the room there is a large horizontal display containing all of the interactions that are playing in the room at that time.

When a user steps in front of the frame, the image morphs into a live-camera feed, creating an infinite tunnel that visitors can capture with a video recording device of their desire.
