Best with sound on

TouchDesigner has an endless amount of possibilities. In this piece, through a process called instancing, I replaced one solid object, a cube, with every pixel of a video in 3D space, and mapped the colour of each pixel onto its own box.

Each box's height follows the value of its colour, with the music as a further influence. I then brought the assets into After Effects to shape this dreamlike piece, largely credited to its beautiful soundtrack by Yusuke Honma.

Let's build

I'm looking for roles in creative technology, where AI tools, interactive systems and real-time visuals meet. If you like what you see, I'd love to hear from you.
