Hand Coded & TigreLab · three interactive experiences · 2017 · Sharjah Light Festival, United Arab Emirates
Our role Technical concept of the mapping, tracking, real-time animation, animation and scenography software, installation.
Three interactive experiences projected onto a 500-metre-wide monument. Visitors touch a scale model of the building, and their gestures play sound and image across the whole façade.
SAND: move grains of sand and compose a desert soundscape. ORGAN: become the DJ of an interactive looper that fires video and audio loops. MOSAIC: transform the shapes and colours of Islamic mosaics.
We developed the concept, the visuals and the audio, and managed the project: a touch model linked to monumental projection, generative imagery synchronised to sound, and a setup able to hold up for ten festival nights with large crowds.
Sharjah Light Festival, 2 to 11 February 2017, at the Dr. Sultan Al-Qasimi Centre.
