Thank you 2025!

Too many memories and highlights to share for one reel. Stoked on all the lessons learned, friendships fostered, and adventures gained!

Looking forward to more in 2026
More programming and lighting design
More time with my fiancee/future wife @julia_ekwall
More adventures exploring the world
More light art and interactive art installations
More flying, biking, and extreme sports

You know what the say, “more is more” or something like that

Teamed up with @magicboxstudiosinc for this cross platform communication system

@remvisualart @saucemonster_themovie lead the charge on building the unreal engine environment and controlling the video wall. With their help I was able to recreate the rig in MA3 allowing me full Dmx control of the virtual fixtures once I patched into their network. They also sent NDI back to me to live map the @kinoflolightingsystems mimiks to either mirror the walls content or run my TouchDesigner built generative content.

Outside of the virtual world , gaffer @thomjmccarthy built a rig to extend the virtual one into real life. It was my job to sync up the real world and virtual lighting so that the show in 3D looks the same as the show in real time. In this video, can you spot which fixtures are real and which ones are digital?

2025 Resolution - More Interactive Work

2024 was my year of exploring interactive / immersive media and art. I explored so many different lanes and fell in love with these experiential / experimental forms of art expression. My 2025 goal is to dive even deeper into this world and explore more works like this.

Huge shout out to all the incredible individuals who helped me out this past year and supported me with all of my mad scientist ideas!
