July 2025, ESO Supernova Planetarium, Munich

I had the wonderful opportunity to create a visual set for Hearts Wide Open, the premiere performance by Fiona Grond, featured by an incredible sextet orchestra.

For this special event, I developed and performed the visual dramaturgy for the dome at ESO Supernova Planetarium.

For the artistic language, I chose to work with particles in various forms. The set featured a Gaussian Splatting Particle System (tool made by Lake Heckaman), point clouds, and particle fluids. I even created my first GLSL-based patch, which was an absolute joy to perform this.

Visuals are made in TouchDesigner and performed in real time. For the performance, I worked with the fantastic tools provided by the one and only function.str by Dan Molnar.

More videos and impressions coming soon.
