What happens if you fuse the weird legacy systems with modern expecations? Can it be really really stupid? Turns out it can. I setup a Asterix phone system acting as a music server to enable this stupid phone playing music in front of a crowd of 10000 people.
Deztination is an interesting party, i was involved early already in 2013 when the organizer decided to start this madness up and helped visuals. For “The Journey” i produced some more abstract visuals for the event, VJ:d and used a solution based on Microsoft Kinect.
I placed a Kinect in front of the DJ in order to in realtime feed the video through a small Unity helper i’ve written that fed data straight into Resolume Arena over Siphon. It created this effect of extending the DJ, as shown here:
Shortly after i left my position at DreamHack i decided to go back to my roots, helping Bombee Event produce an intro show for DreamHack Winter 2014. Of all the prior intro shows we’ve done at DreamHack, this one had a consistent theme and feeling throughout the duration and felt coherent.
