(01) — The project

Images and sounds from the studio’s archive placed in a 3D space you can explore. The same material is used in a web app, a 9600 px wide video installation and live performances.

(02) — Context

Presenting an archive as something to explore rather than search, and treating three unsynchronised screens as one canvas.

(03) — Process

A single system with five outputs: web app, creation tool, render pipeline, installation and live set.
