Kinetisphere (2012)

Digging through my hard drives, I realized there are some older projects I did, I have never mentioned on this site. Kinetisphere is one of such works.

Created to celebrate the launch of the Nexus Q, Kinetisphere is a monument to the confluence of modern design and digital music. Like the Nexus Q, Kinetisphere is designed to encourage social interaction and connect people. It’s a multi-sensory, multi-user participatory experience.

Built in 2012 for Google I/O conference, this was one of the very first projects I worked on after closing imago and moving to San Francisco. To be precise – I was tasked to create a series of audio-driven visuals displayed on an LED loop running around this sculpture. Paired with a talented Touch Designer artist, we built a number of presets users could cycle through as they interacted with the installation.
