5 Movements installation process and visuals

5 Movements is a ten-minute immersive piece about body, space, and time. Five performers move through distinct choreographic languages while slit-scan and spatial projection turn motion into layered visual traces at architectural scale. Nohlab led creative direction; the work opened at Hall des Lumières in New York as part of a larger Culturespaces Digital production.

My contribution focused on the technical and visual system that made the slit-scan language work at that scale. The venue's topology, pixel density, and wall-to-floor geometry had to be solved first. Otherwise the effects would break the moment they left a single screen. Much of the wider production lived in After Effects; this section migrated into TouchDesigner instead, rebuilt as a custom real-time 3D environment with GLSL shaders and bespoke flows so teams could watch iterations live rather than wait on renders.
