Nicole Moudaber All Night Long

My contribution with Volvox Labs and techno DJ Nicole Moudaber to create a dynamic, hours-long visual experience for her DJ night at Art District Brooklyn in 2023. The project featured a non-linear journey through CG landscapes, enhancing the immersive atmosphere of the concert. The visuals were designed to engage and complement Nicole's performance, seamlessly transitioning between scenes, ensuring an impactful and unforgettable experience for the audience.

This project marked my third collaboration with Volvox Labs. During the summer of 2023, I rejoined the team after my spring semester concluded. My primary responsibilities included creating CG landscapes inspired by themes of goddesses and the feminist movement. For the all-night show, the visuals needed to remain engaging, relying on video jockeys to mix and match elements for continuous performance.

The design emphasized non-linear storytelling and modular elements that integrated seamlessly with generative content. Another challenge was the projection venue’s large scale, requiring 20k resolution renders to ensure visuals spanned the space, enhancing audience immersion.

Motion design prioritized subtle and linear camera animation to maintain engagement while avoiding motion sickness. To diversify the environment, I utilized procedural content generation, enabling efficient iterations of object placement throughout the landscape.

This project significantly enhanced my environment-building skills, professionalism in understanding audience interaction, and proficiency in managing large-scale render timelines and project schedules.
