Midnight Sunset Outdoor Fabric Projection

Overview

Midnight Sunset is an algorithmic art and projection installation combining procedural color synthesis, gradient field equations, and generative raster geometry projected onto suspended organic fabric.


Artistic & Technical Themes

  • Procedural Rendering: Non-linear trig and other methods used to create chromatic aberration and other sunlight effects.
  • Projection Medium: Multi-layered tulle draped over paracord fastened to neighboring trees in a non-destructive manner.
  • Custom Shaders & Real-Time Performance: GLSL was utilized to keep power draw low since this was for an outdoor event where battery power was limited.
  • Generative Textures: Perlin noise was used to create the whitecaps of the waves as well as the clouds.
