Interactive Concert 2025

Can You Feel The Artist?

Can You Feel the Artist is an interactive live music performance designed to bridge the gap between performer and audience through technology. The concert follows a central narrative of a bird undergoing personal development, combining live instrumentation with a responsive visual environment. As the Creative Technologist, I was responsible for developing the interactive systems and the projection mapping that integrated the audience into the show.

Tactile Interfaces

Every audience member is provided with a physical "egg" to hold throughout the performance. These objects function as personal, touch-sensitive controllers.

Real-Time Influence

During specific stages of the concert narrative, interacting with the eggs allows the audience to manipulate the environment. Touching the interface can trigger real-time audio additions, such as injecting new musical notes into the live composition, or spawn visual elements, like shooting meteors, on the main screen behind the band.

System Architecture

All interaction design and logic were built entirely within TouchDesigner, which received the sensor data from the audience interfaces and routed it to the corresponding audio and visual outputs.

Stage Integration

TouchDesigner was also utilized to execute projection mapping onto the physical stage decorations, extending the narrative visuals beyond the main screen and blending the interactive elements with the physical set design.
