Details

In 2012, during the SXSW festival, the legendary Spaghetti Warehouse located in downtown Austin, Texas underwent a transformation into a colossal Nike FuelBand. This experience linked the energy, activity, and enthusiasm of the space with the gradient of the FuelBand, which spanned the inside of the entire building.

My responsibilities included writing the software in openFrameworks and performing as the live-VJ during concert performances.
