Outline
In collaboration with Joreg, one of the key minds behind vvvvOpens in a new tabOpens in a new tab, this project explored generative visual systems for the large-scale LED façade of the Ars Electronica Center.
The visuals were fully software-driven and programmed in Java-based ProcessingOpens in a new tabOpens in a new tab, focusing on algorithmic form, rhythm, and architectural integration rather than pre-rendered content. The work was designed to operate within the real constraints of a permanent media façade and its control infrastructure, bridging experimental graphics and production-ready output.
