Light Leaks12/1/2024 Thousand Deep (2020 - 2022) Founder & CEO | GTM, Ops  Produced an immersive art experience combining computer vision and disco balls ("Light Leaks") by artists Kyle McDonald & Jonas Jongejan. Secured partnership with Brooklyn's largest mixed-use development to transform an empty storefront into a multimedia art gallery experienced by thousands of attendees. I fell in love with the work of the artists, Kyle and Jonas. This project was rooted in a genuine passion to share their art with as many people as possible. Instead of projecting directly onto surfaces of a room like in typical projection mapping, artists Kyle McDonald & Jonas Jongejan aim millions of light pixels at the disco balls in an extremely precise way down to the millimeter. The resulting reflections off the disco balls become transforming and immersive patterns on every surface of the room. The artists accomplish this feat by conducting hundreds of light scans to capture the volumetric position of every pixel being projected. They then combine this data with a 3D model of the room to design evocative scenes of light patterns: what could be a glistening forest at night, a field of stars, and wherever else the viewer's imagination drifts. The experience was featured on TimeOut ("best thing to do in NYC"), News12, Fever, Secret NYC, Thrillist, FomoFeed, DoNYC, Bucketlisters, Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Bklyner, BK Mag, Downtown Brooklyn, Average Socialite, and more. Led the project end-to-end from initial vision to daily operations, in collaboration with the artists.
