I can finally post this now, my finalized interactive spaces project, Thinking With Portals :)
General Concept
Basically wanted to make the portals from portal 2 irl, since this is my best costume and I've always loved looking at old youtube videos of people making glados in real life and what not. When my professor said we could make literally anything for this project I knew what I had to do. The user walks onto a pressure plate which triggers the portal to open. Looking forward shows the user top down, and looking upwards shows the user facing forwards :)
Software/Hardware used
Processing- Used to take the live feed of 2 webcams and place them behind a masking animation
Arduino- Used to add pressure sensing to the processing sketch
Krita- Used to create each frame of the blue and orange portal opening and closing animations
Mad Mapper- Used to project only half of the processing sketch on each projector, and ties both projectors together
ScreenCaptureSyphon- Used to record the processing sketch and send it to Mad Mapper for projection
Eventually I'll have a github page for both this final project and one of my interim steps, which is a portal that works with your webcam and your keyboard lol
I am SO burnt out from finals tho so it may take me a while to figure out how in the world to publish things to github

The above images are in no way related to the performance, any similarity in subject matter is purely coincidental, and the authors dissociate themselves from the images and do not consent to their publication, which will have legal consequences. - it's true, these images won't pass my judgment, so won't be in the final show. Just a fun or would say - side - project, aka shitpost.
I am looking forward to work with you as you already know my profile and if don't you can check it in my LinkedIn profile.
I am seeking work, collaboration, partnership

#tving_archives Archives are highly sophisticated communication devices that respond positively to the presence of human curiosity. Acting on our imagination and memories, they seem to allow us to direct our thoughts, collect and share ideas, transcend language and connect in visual and musical ways that were not possible before. We are still in the early stages of Tving creativity but it seems that our destinies have somehow been connected to all the wonderful people we have had the pleasure of working with. I invite you to follow our new series of memoirs entitled.

An Atlas of Es Devlin, exhibition at the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum, from November 18, 2023, through August 11, 2024.
It is an understatement to say that the extent of Es Devlin's work is impressive. Some say she might be one of the best Spatial Experience designers in the world, although she goes by the official title of British artist and stage designer.
From top to bottom, left to right: Opening film installation. Exhibition gallery. Model of the Seed, a 15-meter sculpture at the Jubail Mangrove Park, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, 2020. Model of the stage for Atlas, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los Angeles, California, USA, 2019. Video of three scale models with projection mapping: Stage for Carmen, Bregenz Festival, Lake Constance, Austria, 2017; Stage for Miley Cyrus World Arena Tour, 2014; Stage for Hello, Adele World Arena and Stadium Tour, 2016-17.
Es Devlin's work is best described in her own words in the exhibition's overture:
Es Devlin's Voice: I've always drawn on my books.
I write in their margins,
Underline the phrases that resonate,
The play scripts, opera, pop music scores and lyrics, poems, research texts, lists of endangered species and languages.
My markings are a map
So I can find my way,
Pick up my train of thought
Next time I visit.
I've always loved books with printed dashed lines and scissors,
Books that invite you to cut and fold, paste their pages - to transform printed text and music into sculpture,
To translate Ideas into forms
And action.
When I was about 11 years old, I remember walking down a music school corridor.
Light and sound emanated through the glass windows of each practice room.
I could hear someone playing a Bach cello suite through one window, a Miles Davis trumpet piece through another, a soprano singing Mozart, someone was reciting a Shakespeare text, a guitarist was playing Led Zeppelin.
I observed a shaft of light in the corridor illuminating dust particles in the air, and I thought:
Being here, in the space in between, between music, light and architecture - this is also a kind of practice.
I'm still walking down this corridor now - sometimes alone, often holding hands, running at speed, with choreographers, composers, directors, writers, activists, engineers, and dancers.
We read and draw alone and together, imagining worlds that don't yet exist.
All of the ideas start on a piece of paper like the ones in front of you, in a room like this. We cut and glue pieces of cardboard into sculptures that will be translated into spaces much bigger than this. Sometimes in front of audiences of hundreds, sometimes thousands, or hundreds of thousands.
Every audience is a temporary society,
A rehearsal community.
We arrive in one state,
Sit or stand close together in the dark for a few hours,
Collectively imagining our way into experimental perspectives,
Collectively imagining our way into a new world.
We depart in an altered state, the architecture of our minds redrawn by new thoughts and feelings.
Sometimes we use magic and illusion.
If we can destabilize our own expectations about how objects behave in a theatre,
Then maybe we can start to question our other fixed beliefs.
Here, we can rewrite the rules.
We can decide together, right now, that this studio wall is not really a wall, but a piece of paper - which we can tear open and walk through together.
