Exo-Dome Projection – Generative Visuals Software
For the 2023 holiday season, I was commissioned to develop generative video content for the majestic 25-meter-tall Exo-Dome (The Sphere) located in Bogotá’s iconic Bolívar Square. As a central hub for Colombia’s cultural and social life, the Square served as the stage for a high-impact show conceptualized by artist Sergio Mantilla and produced by Traffic Studio. The immersive experience integrated a live band, pyrotechnics, and a synchronized lighting and video array.
Technical Execution To bring the Sphere to life, I engineered custom generative software within TouchDesigner. This system represented a significant evolution of my previous work—specifically the Somas and DomeLab projects—adapted for large-scale immersive environments.
Key Technical Details:
Workflow: The final outputs were delivered as optimized high-fidelity renders to the technical production team for integration into the live show’s playback system.
Resolution & Performance: Visuals were rendered in native 4K at 48 FPS, ensuring fluid motion across the massive surface area of the dome.
Audio-Reactivity: I implemented real-time audio analysis, allowing the generative patterns to remain fully reactive to the live band’s performance, creating a seamless bridge between sound and light.
