Jellyfish 12000 at Poor Yorick’s Open Studio
I have been looking forward to a moment like this for quite some time. A project I worked on is being shown at my favorite art gallery here in Salt Lake.
I have worked on a 2+ year large scale multimedia art project with some friends which is a giant moving piece of steel from the future. It calls itself the “Jellyfish from the year 12,000”. This beast is a work of steel which is covered in shimmering materials and thousands of LED lights. These LEDs are programmed so that they can be controlled by a person on a touchscreen, or from audio or from computer generated animations.
I personally contributed in some of the software which controls this lighting system and it’s a project that I am very proud of. There were a lot of people with a huge amount of talent and expertise who worked on this and since it’s always hard for me to describe what this project really IS, please click here to watch a video and see for yourself :
Here are the details on the gallery showing this weekend :

There are a lot of people I have tried to explain this project to, so I hope to see all of you at this event.
