This video showcases our work "TIMER" Part 1, created for the 2024 UFO Terminal Loading... Creative Camp and exhibited on the immersive LED curved screen at UFO Terminal.
[Work Background]
For "Loading... Authority 2" exhibition, VIRTURA presented an intricate audio-visual interactive piece. Initially developed as a point cloud visualization synced with music, the work was later optimized for the curved LED screen environment. The installation envelops viewers in an immersive temporal experience, placing them within a metaphorical giant clock where time flows like sand through fingers.
[Musical Design]
Following a symmetrical structure (A-B-C-B'-A'), the composition blends metallic, water, and electronic sound elements. The consistent clockwork sounds throughout emphasize the temporal controller's ability to manipulate time - from chaos to order, acceleration to pause, reverse to deceleration. Special attention was paid to audio-visual synchronization, creating a unified sensory languag
[Visual Presentation]
Utilizing Blender 4.2 Eevee renderer's advanced features, including screen space ray tracing and motion blur, the visuals draw inspiration from musical impact and otherworldly spatial concepts. Through audio waveform detection, point cloud geometry, and shading effects, we created a dynamic visual universe. The exhibition version features reimagined particle flow effects that glide with the music like grains of time.
