| Our standing structure |
We were mainly projecting onto geometric shapes/structures for our previous projects, so for a change, we wanted to work with organic shapes and flowing materials for our final. We started off by building a canvas to project onto. We needed a structure where we could hang fabric and other materials. Denise had an old room divider that she brought in for us to use as the base structure. The rice paper had peeled off, so we had to rebuild the covering for the divider. Using a thin, almost translucent paper, we covered the outer panels and left the middle panel open. We didn't want to cover all the panels because we liked how the light fell onto the wall behind the structure.
The grid pattern on the divider gave a cage-like feeling to the structure, which symbolizes the societal pressures from outside forces, such as the media and authority figures, on women. It also gave a hologram illusion to the projected animations and the sheer fabric hung at the front also added to this 3D effect.

| Magic Music Visualizer |
Magic Music Visualizer was used to create dynamic and interactive content for the music. The speed and size of the particles of our background animation was controlled by the volume of the music. The magic output window was syphoned into Modul8, so that we could apply various effects/filters on the animations. Finally, all content was syphoned, aggregrated, and composed back in MadMapper into individual layers for mapping purposes.
Music: Isaac Albeniz - Suite Espana Op. 165 (arr. Xuefei Yang)
