Welcome to the Realm of Digital Obfuscation.
Scroll Down to Begin.
The Digital Obfuscation Concept is a conceptual split between the act of creating through traditional methods of making art, while combining the advancements of modern-day technologies. But, in an untapped way to produce some — dare I say it — wacky effects.
Syphon Tripper: Circus — The Lego Projection
It was a rather quick turnaround time for the project — just a few days and a Papa John’s Pizza seemed to do the trick.
*Lego is not a sponsor of this project. Although, if they were… I wouldn’t mind.
I created and programmed a digital Lego projection alongside my collaborator, Aarya Nagre. Aarya was responsible for the Lego texture, and I was responsible for creating the feedback loop to work with the video effects, including the interactive gesture commands. This projection featured interactive elements such as a configured camera feed going through a digital obfuscation process. On the ground, we have taped a blue rectangle the viewers stood inside of. Their projection of themselves as Lego characters would then come to life in real time. A core feature I wanted to get working in this projection was implementing gesture controls. For this, I was in a unique case where I had my Mac Mini, to which I could access the SDK for gestural commands, and was able to apply them before the feed went through the obfuscation process.
