Transcending

Made by Jichen Wang, yixiaofu, Alex Wang, Elizabeth Han and lluk

Transcending the traditional projection mapping surface, this project aims to create a volumetric luminescent space. It features the interactive geometries projected on multiple transparent surfaces which allow audiences to be fully immersed in the world of light. Not only is it an immersive experience, but it is also playful that the movement of the audiences can be capture and generate the corresponding animation in the space.

Transcending inhabits a transitory space. It is what introduces people to the wacky warehouse of projects, and it is what people see when they leave. It is located in a semi-corridor, semi-vestibule, semi-staircase, that is normally wasted space. It is an appendage to the larger gallery, an important threshold, and an architectural element in its own right. As such, we saw it as separate from the gallery, and separate from the outside. 


In an effort to make the space itself more visible, we are attempting to project into 3D in such a way that the light forms are spatialized. This means that some visual projections are in mid-air as opposed to flat against the walls. The material the projection projects onto (in mid-air) also becomes almost invisible in the low-light environment that this exists in. This creates an immersive lighting design that fully occupies the vestibule.


Our project lives in its own space. It is an active light field responsive to its inhabitants. As our light becomes more spatialized, the vestibule is made more significant as a container for it.
