Designing for the ETBD student showcase was an interesting challenge
Right after BLINK Cincinnati was over and done with, me and my team were tasked with lighting up the front of Miami University’s Laws Hall for the student project showcase
In rapid succession, I had to choose an artist and create visuals based on their stylization
Not to mention, these pieces had to interact with music in real time
The goal was to project these visuals onto the front of Laws Hall and play music for visitors who got to experience a lightshow as they entered the showcase

Believe me when I say many technical difficulties were encountered in the setting up of the projection
However, through the teamwork and trust built up from our previous project, we mastered these problems in no time
Even if they kept happening, one after another
Setting Up for the Showcase
Though fatigued from BLINK, I never let that get in the way of making the most out of this experience
We put on a fantastic lightshow and visitors were absolutely delighted
Plus, at one point, I took control of the computer and played some audience requests
Each of these pieces can interact with any song presented to it, so we were able to have some fun!
