The #MICME. Interactive Art Festival is an exhibition of the final projects of the Master’s students, tutored by the teaching staff. The festival highlights the role of multimedia and technologies as the core of the artistic experience: live audiovisuals, performances and interactive improvisations in real time.
«Ecos silvestres is an installation that fuses nature with digital art by creating holograms, playing with the reflection of light on methacrylate surfaces from micro worlds of the fungi kingdom. In this way, the installation provides the viewer with a more intimate experience of these small ecosystems.
The installation has 6 holograms adapted for iPad screens: the structures were made to measure with laser cut 10mm mdf and the 1mm methacrylate pyramid where the hologram is reflected, each one with a different setting of fungi species, which were arranged in a physical space that we recreated by means of branches, stones and plants.
The visuals were modelled and rendered in blender, jpg format, exporting the view from 4 angles (cameras) to later make the general composition and adjustments in Touchdesigner language and, thus, more easily manipulate the location of each element, lighting and extra effects generated in aftereffects, as in the case of the butterflies.
The sound, created by Ilgın İçözü, was added in Touchdesigner by modifying the displacement of the mushrooms, so that each one had a soft and delicate movement.»
