There are times when cities are defeated by darkness, quiet in the night.
Structures that long shed any memory of human touch.
Chard crucibles of culture, slowly disintegrating over countless years of abandonment.
But once in a while, darkness brings a visitor.
The firefly - a light of consciousness that ignites the world
This is a journey we all take, as we all will eventually lose what is familiar to us, we will be forced to redefine our idea of who we are
Our light will shine on those discoveries, and reveal new worlds that have been hidden in the darkness.
Today it feels like we are being asked to know all, to see all, and for all mysteries to be revealed simultaneously in our hyper connected awareness.
The journey of the Firefly reminds us, we are all just single points of light - traveling through darkness, illuminating one mystery at a time.
Technical Notes:
For this architectural video mapping project Light Harvest created the entire animation in the Unreal Engine from Epic Games.
The entire Firefly project was constructed as a playable video game environment, with the main character movement being performed and recorded in real time by the director, Ryan Uzilevsky.
Light Harvest also brought on Audio Visual artist Brett Bolton for a collaborative ending scene where the building's architecture was directly linked to his live instruments and real time Notch animations, so Brett essentially could trigger the buildings visual animation from within his Ableton driven keyboard and drum setup.
The audience will see the building react to live manipulations of sound, color, and geometric animation moving in perfect harmony, all being interlinked.
