MAPS & JOURNEYS: Digital Circuitry & Gallery Installation

To further develop our project for the gallery, it was decided to update the visuals with a more abstract and digital theme. We decided upon showing circuitry and roughly relating the concepts that applied to the prototype.

As it's my job to do the visuals i decided to study images of circuits

From the images that i found this one stood out quite allot due to it's colors and high tech look.

i used after effects to play around and create a simplified circuit board. This was done by creating a series of masks and applying a stroke effect to the layer

Using a duplicate of that layer, and some other effects i then started to experiment with the look of electricity flowing through the boards. These are some early tests:

With some rough assets ready, i started to create the Quartz Composer composition to test out the project. After a few hours i had quite a big chunk of the composition complete
 also as you can see i tried to better organise the composition flowchart to easily find things

Also i grouped smaller functions in to sub-patches that would render things in images to be used in the main composition.


During installation week though is where the finalization happened...



 Overall i am extremely pleased with the results, and it has been incredible seeing people interact and ask questions about our project, and explaining all of the process is a joy!
