Between 2010-2011 I worked as the projection designer and VJ for a series of dance installations and developed media for a treadmill based interactive video installation focused on the desert. Media for both treadmill and performance came from a time lapsed photo-series I took as a walk from the downtown metro area of Tempe Arizona to the ancient ruins of Case Grande 50 miles away. Images were processed in Photoshop and composited into video in After Effects and then integrated into various ‘walks’ people could take on a treadmill.

The media system for the dance installation involved 4 video projectors covering the adjacent walls of the performance as well as the floor. Content from the treadmill served as a base material for procedurally animated and distressed variations of the footage that explored the aesthetics of the desert. Modul8 was used for improvised play back and video processing of both prerecorded footage and live cameras.
