Description
Gold Sphere and Gold Pylon are two connected projects exploring Black ancestry, spirituality, and dance through immersive technology. For Gold Sphere, a XR film won Best Futurist Filmmaker at Cannes World Film Festival — I built the virtual environment in Unreal Engine and used motion capture to animate characters and bring the performers' movement into the virtual world. For Gold Pylon, a live multimedia solo performance that was part of New York Live Arts Fresh Track Residency, I designed and operated the real-time visuals in support of the on-stage narrative.
