Title：RADIANT
“RADIANT is an audio-visual projection mapping
artwork that explores how light rays scatter from an object. Light is invisible to the human eye until it collides with an
object. What we see is the impact of the light on an surface.
This piece is inspired by this phenomenon, the facade of the Memorial Picture Gallery in Tokyo becomes the canvas for this interaction. The play of light on the building creates new dimensions and changes how we perceive its otherwise
ordinary appearance.
This work is a digital collage composed of classical 3d CGI animation and generative effects.
The general aesthetics features minimalist, bold visuals using the geometry of the architecture. The color plate is simple, mostly using white and black shades. Monochromatic
graphics sometimes evolve into vivid chromatic aberration phenomena, showcasing red, orange, yellow, green, purple, and blue hues.
The tempo and flow of the “Radiant” artwork are diverse, featuring dynamic rhythm in some parts and slow-evolving visuals in others. The accompanying music, which features contemporary electronic sounds, is specially composed for this piece.
