"CHIASM BRAIN", the single-channel site-specific projection mapping piece,  is one of the multimedia installations without sound showcased and projected onto Bovard arch (projection area: W38 x H21 ft.) which intertwined perceptions and tunneled through color, movement, texture of different experimental clips which contain techniques like: mocap, filming under microscope,  time-lapse, stop-motion, etc.

 

By Arching 2D hands-on animations over to 3D computer motion graphics, this 20 minutes on-board experience aims to take audience to travel in hyperspace of "primordial soup" which composed and seasoned by multiple animation vignettes from 7 projects including: Kinetic Colors, Gaia, Procedural Organic, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Re-AnimatedMad God, Proto-Floto and Mental Black Hole
