From drawing these up to getting them CNC'd ( shout out to @mulberry_workshop !) and assembling them all.. quite a few steps in the mix ...so I thought it would be fun to do a little time lapse.
Luckily have plenty of space at @invisiblewindfactory to make a mess and get these units all built and ready to be sent out . They will appear at various locations throughout Liverpool for this pilot stage and then.. who knows ! Would be ace to see them popping up all over the place.
Get in touch with some suggestions for future locations.

Trying out some of the interactions we have been building for the Tele Sync portals. Channeling some early video feedback vibes with beautiful delays..
Each portal runs on #touchdesigner with the super powerful #mediapipe library, allowing us to do really fun image segmentation, motion tracking and background removal.. turning a simple webcam in to a really advanced pair of eyes !

It's happening! Slowly but surely.. building out a series of AV portals to get deployed around the city of Liverpool .. more info on the way ..

Been super busy last few months developing and building this really fun project that we get to launch on the 26th of March @kapsule_club .. comprising of a series of AV portals that we will deploy across the city.. these will act as wormholes connecting grassroots venues in to a city wide network.
The portals have different modes of interaction, from showing upcoming gigs -> to single user experiences -> multi player mode -> broadcasting live shows. It's just a pilot programme for now to see how it all works.. it's been a pretty crazy amount of work, but super happy with how they look and work.. not great at sharing work in progress.. but will do my best !
