Baktun. Projection Mapping at Akarenga, Yokohama, Japan.

One of my favourite projects I’ve worked on.

I did 60% of all CG work and did creative and technical direction for this CG animated short film deployed on on video mapping technique.

Commissioned for the second time by the Japanese festival “Joy of Mexico” held in 2012, Telekinetic created an audiovisual piece based on the mystical symbolism of the Mayan world. The narrative evokes the ancient civilization, their effigies, their architecture and the completion of their calendar represented by the so-called “End of the World”. It is through digital illusionism that the message is transmitted, an awakening of the human being with greater integration and awareness.

This work was developed in 3D animation and was musicalized based on the legacy of modernist composer Silvestre Revueltas, with his piece the night of the Mayans.

“Baktun” under the technique of “Projection Mapping”, transformed completely Akarenga’s architecture, historic building in the port of Yokohama, Japan.

“Muto” Video Mapping. ITESM 70th Anniversary.

While working on Telekinetic Media Lab, I did the creative, technical direction and developed 70% of all CG work for the 70th anniversary of the “Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey” at Estado de Mexico Branch.

Inspired by the message “Transforminmg lifes for 70 years”, I developed the audiovisual piece “Muto”, using video mapping technique and a mixture of generative and pre rendered CG animation synchronized to original music. Due to time and budget constraints I tried to use a balance of abstract an figurative forms to give an understandable narrative avoiding using the mapping technique just for gimmycks.

The show was executed using the first version of “Alkimia” , a proprietary custom software for controlling audiovisual content for multi display, firstly developed on VVVV using it as prototype to further development on Touch Designer, evolving to the software I call now “Soul Engine Explorer”.

We used 3 18k Barco video projectors on 18m tall towers to map the central building of the university.

HEX. Audio Reactive Installation for HYPERDUBD10MX

On 2014 I designed, programmed and operated the audio reactive piece “Hex” while directing Telekinetic Media Lab.

Comissioned by the renowned UK music brand Black Market Records, I was asked to design the stage for the 10th year anniversary celebration of the seminal label “Hyperdub” at Mexico City.

HEX worked as a synaesthesic stage, delivering unseen visuals to a yet amazing sound experience.  Stage trusses, wood, robotic lights and 3 short throw 3K ANSI projectors were used to video map  7 different hexagonal surfaces with generative visuals reacting live to the sound from the mixing console.

The visuals were developed using Alkimia, a Touch Designer framework developed for audio reactive generative visuals for multi display. I’ve used this tool many times for different shows and applications.

1st of November of 2014. Day of the Dead at Mexico City. Salon Covadonga was the host of a great celebration, the 10th year anniversary of the seminal label Hyperdub.

The boss label Kode 9, alongside Scratcha DVA, Ikonika and Hyperdub’s latest partners Teklife’s DJ Spinn, DJ Taso and DJ Earl showcased one of the most impressive bass music events that Mexico City has lived.

Black Market, in partnership with Indio, Ensamble and Telekinetic Media lab were responsible for making this possible.

Following is a video that shows how Alkimia generates the visuals reacting to different sound frequencies.
