Vision

Finding himself on a suspended tightrope, he perceives a black hole on the other side, representing deep sleep. With each blow on the table, the tightline shakes violently, throwing him off balance and forcing him to restart all over again.

Approach

A custom-built apparatus of projection mapping, programming tools, and interactive hardware devices allowed us to bend the rules of physics and contribute to this exciting new medium.
