This is the credit that says I don't just operate visuals — I've built the rooms and the ecosystems they happen in.

INSTALLATIONS

Introspection — Technical lead (2019)

A 360° immersive installation by artist Michelle Poonawalla on desensitisation to violence — newsreel and ambient audio, motion-sensor-driven response, digitally mapped visuals enveloping the audience (torrential fiery rain washed away by a cacophony of butterflies). I led the technical implementation across the international run:

  • Alserkal Avenue, Dubai — March 2019 (Art Week Dubai)
  • Saatchi Gallery, London — September 26–29, 2019 (START Art Fair)

Sound Canvas — AAM 2025

Generative-AI installation for the All About Music conference, 2025 (commissioned by ChordFather Studio). Audience drew on a live iPad; an SDXL Lightning + ComfyUI API loop turned the strokes into a continuously evolving visual at ~800 ms latency. An installation that's AI-powered under the hood — the room saw a real-time canvas, not a model.

TECHNICAL DEPTH

A short factual block, no fluff:

  • TouchDesigner for real-time audio-reactive visuals; custom node networks for show-specific looks; spout/syphon outputs to media servers.
  • LED wall pipelines at 8K–12K resolution; frame-perfect sync with broadcast feeds and lighting consoles (DMX/Art-Net).
  • Live show operation — running the show on the night, not just designing it. Cue stacks, cam feeds, sponsor lower-thirds, fail-over plans.
  • Crew supervision — managed on-site teams of up to 20 technicians across LED, cam, lighting, audio sync.
  • Stage design adaptability — adapted content per venue, per country, per cultural context across 8 countries.
