Role: disguise Programmer/ Operator/ VJ

I worked as a disguise Programmer/ Operator on behalf of Eduardo Dominicci, the original creator of the disguise project, for the event ‘H&M & LONDON’, working alongside KENNEDY and technical provider 80’Six.

The project, Produced by KENNEDY LONDON began in a previsualization suite before transitioning to the event site. I closely collaborated with media artist Maximo Recife, creatively sequencing his diverse content onto the disguise timeline to go with the soundscape, created by British DJ and radio presenter, Benji B. I also had the opportunity to VJ live performances for renowned electronic musicians and DJs Jamie xx and SHERELLE.

The event, held at the Copper Box Arena in East London, featured immersive installations and interactive elements by Maximo Recife and Weirdcore, as well as contributions from Albert Moya, the filmmaker behind H&M’s Autumn/Winter campaign. Highlights included a performance by dancers featured in the campaign, an electrifying set by campaign star Charli XCX, and an after-party with DJ sets by Jamie xx and SHERELLE.

The technical setup comprised two disguise VX4 servers outputting to multiple Vanish LED screens and a dynamic ROE Strip Grid, which included a movable central section. For VJing, I utilized a Stream Deck and a MIDI controller integrated with disguise.

Eduardo Dominicci, in addition to serving as Technical Video Consultant, designed the complex ROE Strip content pipeline and UV template for the project. This meticulous preparation ensured pixel-accurate, real-world content alignment on the expansive ROE Strip Grid at the Copper Box Arena.

The Making of a Monster:-

A grime-theatre mash-up by Connor Allen.

“Too black for my white friends, but too white for my Black friends. Growing up mixed race in Newport, I fell into a cloud of grey.

Absent Black father, ducking the police, working out what it means to be a man. I was struggling to find my place in the world and in danger of spiralling out of control. Then one moment changed my life.”

Created from grime culture and inspired by Dizzee Rascal, Wiley, Skepta and Kano, The Making of a Monster is my story.

As part of the Adobe Summit EMEA 2017, Taylor Bennett Partners designed a concept of an interactive digital waterfall. AV supplier Hawthorn reached out to BAJT to create the vision where guests are invited to put a stick into the ‘water’ and watch it react to their touch. 

BAJT created a system using a combination of the realtime visual engine Notch, mediaserver d3 and tracking technology Blacktrax; Created in Notch, the waterfall stems from 64,000 particles that feed into additional fluid dynamics systems, resulting in the effect of abstract flowing water. Virtual "Repeller" objects displace the water exactly in the location of people's physical sticks, which have Blackrax tracker points attached. Finally, d3 renders the Notch scene in realtime based on tracking data, and maps the visuals to 4 auto-blended projectors.
