Concept and projection mapping by Devin Gharakhanian, Visuals and Sound Design by Ben Heim

Dopium wall

LA design festival, Chinatown, LA, 2019

Dopium Wall explores the physical and digital properties of common architectural materials and textures through light and projection mapping techniques; extracting, generating, and re-generating data from its existing raw state to something other.

This experiment recognizes and recasts a site specific surface-material-texture through a single light source. The synthesis of the physical and digital texture mapping might hold a new-media future for architecture in how we alter interior spaces, with respect to its existing features, with low impact operations that resume profound atmospheric shifts.

A project in collaboration between Ben Heim and Devin Gharakhanian
