Amon Tobin says that his experiments with visuals began because he couldn't afford video production. Yeah, this happens even with the best of us) For sure its a very familiar situation for many multidisciplinary artists - you are doing A but also B, C and XYZ because you are not in a position to hire someone. Good reminder on the importance of artistic collaborations, though)

For the LEAP our company was building a huge exhibition booth for the Saudi Aramco.
My team was responsible for the interactive tunnel at the entrance and a volumetric screen combined with the LED floor through a LED pedestal and an LED mesh on the ceiling.

Thanks fly to:
- Vlad developing the interactive particle setup for the tunnel
- Gregory developing the background particle system for the tunnel
- Sergey prototyping volumetric splicing

The stand was successfully launched today with the opening of the exhibition itself. Tomorrow Im travelling to Jeddah to work on the Formula E fanzone, will be posting our WIP )

Today Sasha Letzius reached me and asked to try out the new beta version of Zerror - a tool they developed as artists for themselves and which in my opinion is he best TouchDesigner UI enhancer available. My schedule is quite packed, so for an improvised session and doing this post I had 45 minutes only.
For the beta version of Zerror a best companion of course would be the alpha version of TouchDesigner with new POPs operators. For quite some time I was thinking to experiment with generating sound in TouchDesigner based on the POPs attributes realtime data. So that's exactly what I did. It was a lot of fun, everything technically works, next time I have 45 minutes I will improve the sound (or maybe move the sound generation from TouchDesigner to Bitwig or VCV Rack) and also work on the visuals more

With our kargat studio collective we are planning a media art road trip during the holy month of Ramadan. We will start in Bahrain and drive through Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and finally will reach Oman. On our way we will be creating artworks in deserts, mountains and on the wild beaches. For that purpose we needed a reliable offroad car to carry us and all our equipment.
After a few weeks of research I finally made a choice and got a new car that I believe is the most capable for what wee need. Meet my new friend - Toyota Hilux SR5 ?

I am also honored to have a great team inhouse and a network of trusted freelance collaborators, will be mentioning them here for everyone's benefit. For the video above Grigory Tsvetkov created all the sexy motion graphics and Alex Zender composed that pushy oriental sound

One of the first big projects, I've been developing as a creative director during last 3 months at my new job is coming to life in few days ?
Had a great pleasure communicating with many creatives from all over the world regarding this assignments. With someone we even managed to establish fruitful remote collaboration networks. Now spending a lot of time in the studio finalizing the opening show, wish me and our team best of luck on the event itself?? For sure i will be sharing many artistic and technical insights here later ❤️

While having a lot of fun with the projects that I craft as a creative director, I am proudly sharing some news from my "independent artist" sub-personality. Our kargat.studio collective was nominated to participate WIP festival in Nicosia, showcasing our recent project RxTx
We are not travelling ourselves and are very thankful for the festival team for their support and technical assistance onsite.
