Some examples of works relevant to the immersive arts context – real-time interactive installations and online-digital experiences, VR and XR, immersive audio – in roles of Lead Artist, Creative Developer, and Creative Technology Director.
Since the media of my arts practice are very much based on motion and interaction, several short videos are offered here, alongside high quality still images – when viewing as PDF, videos are shown as URLs in boxes, click or copy-paste to view them.
These works are selected for their relevance to this upcoming work, from a mixture of past client projects and commissions and artistic practice works – while client projects and commissions tend to cover a broader range of themes, works from my own artistic practices explore and develop my themes of natural phenomena and dynamics through physics and graphics, real-time natural interaction and artist-audience dialogues, and creative applications of emerging technologies custom-built in code.
An interactive light artwork driven by AI responding to the speech of the audience.
I collaborated on this major installation project as the Lead AI & Creative-Technologist to develop the app and AIs at the heart of Chorus of Light, the Samsung interactive immersive installation at Vivid festival of light – leading this tech core part of the project all the way from pitch to production, in collaboration with Amplify, Lightology, Susan Kosti, Ta-ku, Eat the Elephant. Near the Sydney Opera House, for a month, thousands of visitors each night walked through a 3D grid of volumetric light effects, to speak to tablets in the centre to share their hopes for the future as a custom volumetric light-effect filling the entire space. The web-app and AIs capture each person’s speech in any language, translate and speak it back in a generated voice for each language in turn, interpret its emotion and meaning into categories, to sequence a custom effect sent to play on the lighting system.
I built the heart driving this interactive immersive installation – tablet app views and interactions via JavaScript, speech inference and translation via Google Cloud and Gemini akin to Galaxy AI, combining and time-sequencing custom light-effects via Node, real-time networking via OSC and WebSockets.
