Showcasing Interactive Installations



The Lore
Luther Ocasio is an experiential designer and new media artist. He designs and constructs interactive installations and environments that encourage others to perceive the connections between the overlapping physical, psychological and digital spaces we inhabit. He draws attention to the subtle relationships of the spaces, states, species and technologies we interact with.
The installations blend sensor-driven generative art made in TouchDesigner with physical media such as biomaterial sculptures and ritual. The generative art is displayed via a variety of different mediums such as led screens, crt tvs, or projection mapping. Depending on the installation, interactions may involve touch, voice or biometrics, allowing participants to influence the artworks and incorporate real-world data into the media. By using biomaterials he reduces his reliance on wasteful materials and creates an organic and more approachable presence to the technology in the installations.
Informed by Thomas Leonard’s Nine Environments of You model, Luther approaches these overlapping environments through an ecological perspective. The hope is that participants consider the world around them as alive and responsive, recognizing relationships with other species in this world. His belief is that by shifting how people perceive these relationships they can deepen their understanding and appreciation for all life and what lies outside our perception.
