eden at coachella 2023
Maggie West Installation
One of the world's largest photography installations
and we mapped it. b1n4ry, through VTProDesign, worked to Projection Map and bring to life the 50’ tall flowers that Maggie West photographed and designed at Coachella Music and Arts festival in April of 2023.
Using TouchDesigner b1n4ry worked to program projection maps and trigger content for both sides of the giant structures and control the lighting fixtures in the structure’s base.
“To create Eden, West photographed a variety of plants, each in two color schemes: warm and cool. All color for the photos was created with lighting, not post production. West’s photographs of flowers and plants were then reproduced on 20 steel structures, each covered with wood and vinyl. Each piece of the installation ranges from 6 to 56 feet tall.
Depending on your view of the installation, you see a completely different composition. One side of the installation features the plants photographed in cool tones (shades of blue, violet and teal) while the other side features a warmer palette (shades of magenta, peach and gold). ”
