“TAP” Shining Shanghai

The audience is part of the ritual, they are filming on their phones, the building is scrolling through the feed… I used my own performance captures with unreal engine for the avatars as well as Cinema 4d with octane render. No generative ai used.

Anticipating the scale of people compared to the projection and the behaviour of the audience, the mapping show expands beyond the surface of the building.

Swipe, swipe, swipe. The feed is chaos, the avatars walk out to join the audience to - look at their phones in the real world.

This project won the bronze award at the Shining Shanghai Light Festival in 2025.
