Semi-Diurnal Spaces
Commissioner: Arts Council Wales, Cultvr | 2022 | Real-time system, TouchDesigner, NVIDIA FleX particle system, tidal and atmospheric data
Semi-Diurnal Spaces is a site-specific, immersive full-dome installation that uses local tidal and atmospheric data from South Wales. Tidal patterns and environmental factors such as wind speed and humidity drive a real-time NVIDIA FleX particle system, creating a dynamic, multisensory environment. By visiting the South Wales coastline and collecting material as audiovisual input, the project explores the interplay between real and digital elements. Even a handful of sand within the installation can surpass the digital particles, challenging the immersive digital experience as a tool to foster a deeper connection with the real environment.
