Dynamic Simulations for Large Scale Interactive Installations and Performance - Vincent Houz

Talk: Dynamic Simulations for Large Scale Interactive Installations and Performances Human beings are used to living in a world ruled by the laws of physics, which is why using controlled digital dynamic simulations is a particularly effective way to create relatable digital worlds that people can engage with. The combined ability to sense people in a space and map digital spaces over physical ones can lead to the creation of new and impactful artworks and experiences. In this talk, Vincent Houzé will explain how his visual effects experience eventually led him to the creation of large scale interactive installations and performances. He will present the techniques and inspirations that informed a selection of his artworks and describe his use of TouchDesigner as the main software in a variety of projects. Houzé has used TD as a tool for pre-visualization to understand physical spaces, as the control centre for aggregating sensors data, and as a platform to develop digital physics simulatio
