class="body"><p><br>With climate denial on the wane, former denialists have transitioned to portraying sustainability as sacrifice.</p><p>The individuals and corporations trying to slow efforts to electrify, to shift to renewables, and to better our relationships to the built environment, transport, and food, are attempting to convince the public that a greener future means giving up comfort, expediency, and pleasure. That’s a powerful argument to the weakly engaged.<br><br>For people who don't confront these topics every day, it's enough to hear these ideas a few times to be left with images of range anxiety, bland tofu, and an electric coil where the gas range used to be. <br><br>At best, to the casual observer, the conversation around climate change might seem like a grey world of actuarial minutiae like carbon offsets and regulation and taxes. Not inspiring stuff. <br><br>For the 2023 AWS re:Invent conference Sustainability Showcase, we wanted to explore how generative AI could help us envision sustainability transformations as something desirable. We wanted to create images that answer the question:<br><br><strong>"What if we made different decisions with the same resources?"</strong><br><br>Using the foundation model APIs at Amazon <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/">Bedrock</a> and the AWS's new <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/inferentia/">Inferentia</a> and <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/trainium/">Trainium</a> compute instances, we created a series of high-resolution 'start plate' images representing recognizable real-world conditions from the status quo. We then built a layer cake of diffusion inference techniques including fine-tuned models, custom LoRAs, textual inversion, and layered ControlNets to gradually inpaint, in real time, a plausible 'after' scenario in its place.<br><br>Where SDXL was the visual medium, our hand-rolled <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/claude/">Claude</a> chatbot, running on the Bedrock backend, was our creative partner, churning out hundreds of ideas to explore. <br><br>In the end, we created dozens of these scenes, including:<br><br>A festive table laden with meat-heavy dishes ➝<br><em>A sustainable feast of beautiful seasonal vegetables and grains</em><br><br>A typical American gas station ➝ <br><em>A biophilic charging oasis with shaded seating, lush landscaping, and a cafe</em><br><br>A typical American '<a href="https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2018/3/1/whats-a-stroad-and-why-does-it-matter">stroad</a>' ➝ <br><em>A solar-harvesting protected bike lane adjacent to light rail, making a walkable community</em><br><br>A dense monoculture industrial greenhouse ➝ <br><em>A vertical aquaponics facility growing a variety of crops</em><br><br>A diesel bus, idling in a cloud of smoke ➝ <br><em>A sleek electric bus charging wirelessly through its bus stop</em><br><br>A series of flat, barren urban rooftops ➝ <br><em>A connected series of lush green roofs shaded by solar pergolas</em><br><br>The physical embodiment of the installation was a larger-than-life high-resolution LED display creating these transformations in real-time throughout the run of the re:Invent conference.<br><br>There are some fast-moving GIFs on this page showing condensed examples of these transformations in motion, but, as always with our work, the real thing plays out at a more contemplative pace, inviting the viewer to closer inspection.<br><br>Technical effort aside, much of the labor in this project was dedicated to understanding the texture of the foundation models we worked with — sustainability has an aesthetic, and that bias in the training material can make some AI-generated portrayals of sustainable outcomes feel unreachably utopian, or, disappointingly, bourgeois and expensive. We didn't want 'only for the rich', or 'green fantasy', or replacement, or 'distant future', we wanted 'today, only with different priorities'.<br><br>For more on the conceptual foundations of the project, check out this <a target="_blank" href="https://derivative.ca/community-post/using-generative-ai-envision-sustainable-near-future/69881">long-form interview about the making of Epoch Optimizer</a> with TouchDesigner makers Derivative.<br><br>Thanks very much to AWS for the faith and support in seeing this project through, and for putting sustainability on the stage at re:Invent.<br><br><em>All images on this page are AI-generated with the exception of the photos of the installation itself.</em><br><br><strong>_______________________________<br>AWS: EPOCH OPTIMIZER</strong><br><br>Client: <a href="https://aws.amazon.com">AWS</a><br><br>AV Support: <a href="https://fuse-tg.com">Fuse</a><br><br>Special thanks:<br>comfyanonymous,<br>Dr.Lt.Data,<br>Ferniclestix,<br>Elburz Sorkhabi, <br>Tristan Valencia, <br>Eric Alba,<br>Dennis Schoeneberg<br><br>Built with:<br><a href="https://aws.amazon.com">AWS</a><br><a href="https://derivative.ca">TouchDesigner</a><br><a href="https://stability.ai">Stable Diffusion</a><br></p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="6620f6a83d800b73f7322720" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1700333376725-549H7UCFLHBIBO76AH63/coastal_euler_00004_.png" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/aws-epoch-optimizer" data-title="AWS / EPOCH OPTIMIZER [2023]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_6557a6357e238e2a2a34ccd3"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/google-woogle/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>GOOGLE + DEEPLOCAL / GOOGLE WOOGLE MAKER [2022]</h1> <div class="body"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Nothing is juicier than an open-ended brief for a generative art moment centered on color. Just thinking about it calls to mind a million ideas, aesthetics, methods, references, and techniques.<br><br>Deeplocal worked with Google on a hero exhibit for their Chelsea store, starting with a deck of juicy, candy-colored, bubbly, translucent, squiggly, squishy reference, and a focus on personalization. Just enough agreement on style to narrow the field, and just enough variety to leave it wide open.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">From a previous installation, Google already had a wraparound three-screen display, extended by a low-resolution array of LEDs nestled in a floor-to-ceiling cove of frosted glass tubes. The refresh, timed to coincide with the launch of the latest Pixel phone, was to use the Pixel as both a camera and as a controller for a generative art moment. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The phone was to capture an image of the user, extract the dominant colors from the image, and begin generating a one-of-a-kind art piece with a palette derived from the picture. At the end, an onscreen QR code offered wallpaper-formatted captures of the unique artwork for the user to take away. (Try scanning the QR on this page!)</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For the project, we explored a handful of camera-based interactions for a variety of colorful, abstract, mirrored, dichroic, chromey, confetti, bouncy, squishy visual directions (a few rejected ideas pictured at the bottom of the gallery), eventually landing on a worm / tube / squiggle Google named the ‘Woogle’.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Our front end system consumed a palette and state change commands from the phone and middleware layers, using those elements to drive a high resolution, smooth-as-silk Woogle experience for hundreds of customers a day for a run that continued, by popular demand, long beyond its initially-scheduled window.<em><br><br></em></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">_______________________________<br><br><strong>GOOGLE: WOOGLE MAKER</strong><br><br>Client: Google<br>XD, Software, Systems - Design & Implementation: Deeplocal<br>Generative Art Moment / Snek: Noah Norman / Hard Work Party</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="65365551d7141b420fe32a3b" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1698059601616-HCCNG46DKZ4GJK5LKNWK/woogle_card_tightercrop.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/google-woogle" data-title="GOOGLE + DEEPLOCAL / GOOGLE WOOGLE MAKER [2022]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_650b431223861f790b8e7141"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/cheese/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>CHEESE [2022]</h1> <div class="body"><p class="">In 2022, fascinated by cutting-edge diffusion fine-tuning techniques, we joined forces with a small team of developers and dreamers to make <a href="https://cheese.baby" target="_blank">Cheese</a>, an entirely new kind of social network that asks - and answers - the question: <br><br><strong>‘What if social media were <br>actually, <br>literally, <br>truly fake?’</strong><br><br>All profiles on Cheese are populated exclusively with AI-generated images.

Prompt creators are incentivized with app credits for every time someone ‘remixes’ their prompt.<br><br>When we put Cheese in front of users, people lost their minds - and weeks of their free time - to pure creative joy. Here’s what we heard:<br><br><em>”I can’t stop scrolling.”<br>”This is the most addictive app I have ever used.”<br>”This is the only social network I’ve ever been interested in.”<br>”Just lost a week of work to Cheesin’.”<br>”I’m hooked on that Cheese.”<br>”It’s going to start WWIII but it’s great.”</em> <br><br>Of course, when designing a system like this, privacy and safety were top of mind. Our rules and terms were carefully considered to codify that users should own their likeness, and should be in full control of a model that is capable of making images of them.<br><br>• Users’ generations remain private until posted<br>• Users own their posted images and AI model<br>• Zero-tolerance policy for abuse<br>• Cheese can only generate images with users’ models for internal testing<br><br>We barely scratched the surface of our dream roadmap with this experiment.

Our conversations with Rosetta’s owners began before the renovation of the historic downtown theater broke ground, at a time when the project’s identity was just taking shape, and when the reflected ceiling plan was still ~14 months off. The request was for a system that would make an elegant statement while providing daylighting in an elevated European-style food hall environment, but then drive the vibe as a full-on club lighting system after hours. We knew from experience that the best way to make a large impact in a space of this size was to make a distributed system, and that the best way to make a limited budget stretch was to make a system of modular, repeated components. With that brief, we decided on the triangle as the fundamental element of the two Platonic solids with 3-sided faces: the octahedron and the icosahedron. With one custom, 16-bit 15-node RGBW LED PCB we were able to make 20 pendant lights of aluminum and diffusion acrylic that provide circadian-adapted daylighting and by night flex 3D, volumetric, UV-unwrapped, audio-responsive dynamic lighting looks that consistently evoke gasps from the crowd when the dinner-to-club changeover goes down.

This one was almost as simple as it gets: <br><br><strong>‘Netflix wants to make a billboard disappear.’</strong></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For a brand new all-LED billboard thrust into the vibrant sky above LA’s Sunset Boulevard, the goal was to make the physicality of the thing vanish, for the content to seemingly float, tacked invisibly to the peaches and whites and teal gradients of the California sky behind.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For <a href="https://av-controls.com" target="_blank">AV&C</a> and partner <a href="https://www.daktronics.com/en-us" target="_blank">Daktronics</a>, who boldly said yes to what was in reality a pretty crazy idea, we built a 24/7/365 automated self-color-correcting video pipeline that made the thin borders of the giant display vanish into the air, against, it seemed, the will of science itself.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Many said it couldn’t be done, and they should go out to Sunset Boulevard and bring a crow to eat and send us a picture of them eating it, because we did it.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To be totally fair, this was a quixotic mission. The type of PTZ cameras that can withstand 24/7 operation aren’t famed for their accuracy and don’t sport the kind of ultra-precise controls one would want for a task like this, and the kind of LED displays they install for roadside billboards are similarly not instruments of great subtlety.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">But there was a great amount of will, so we found a way, using truly exotic LED color science, arcane camera control APIs, grilling the LED manufacturers at length about edge cases and undocumented behavior, astronomical calendric automation, and endless testing through countless sunsets and sunrises in Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and LA.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Drive East on Sunset, do a double-take, and think of us.<br></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">_______________________________</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><strong>NETFLIX: INVISIBLE FRAME<br></strong><br>Client: Netflix<br>XD, Software, Systems - Design & Implementation: <a href="https://av-controls.com" target="_blank">AV&C</a><br>Technical Direction: Noah Norman / Hard Work Party<br><br>November, 2021</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Made with love and <a href="https://derivative.ca" target="_blank">TouchDesigner</a>.</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="637b9893ad43353f6540cfed" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1666928969781-XDYPEK6N4WO1753SEG1T/P1010339.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/netflix-invisible-frame" data-title="NETFLIX + AV&C / INVISIBLE FRAME [2021]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_635b51234b39565ec86a3c33"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/elsewhere-sound-space/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>TWITCH / ELSEWHERE SOUND SPACE (2021)</h1> <div class="body"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.elsewherebrooklyn.com/" target="_blank">Elsewhere</a> is a beloved Brooklyn music institution and the heart of a sprawling and inclusive community of emerging music fans.

With their support we dreamed up <a href="https://twitch.tv/elsewhere" target="_blank">Elsewhere Sound Space</a>, a comedy sci-fi space spa cult music show with an improvised, nonlinear format driven by bidirectional communication between the talent, the software, and the audience.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">To make it happen, we designed and built a hybrid uber-application and COVID-safe studio in the quiet halls, lobbies, and coat check of Elsewhere itself.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The production process for every episode involves a blank sheet of paper and an attempt to break down conventions and subvert expectations while winking at tropes from traditional storytelling. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The fourth wall is transparent on Twitch and our dynamic, software-enabled visual storytelling allows us to interrogate the show-viewer relationship in new ways every time we build a scene.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">When designing the systems and software for the program, we approached every touchpoint as a distinct user experience design task. On-site our users include the host, the guest, the technical director (us), the call-in producer, and the sound tech. Online our users are the viewers watching live on Twitch.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Every user’s needs, sensory bandwidth, and interaction capability profiles differ based on their role in shaping the experience, and thus every user’s interface to the show is entirely custom and evolves rapidly with the changing capabilities and needs of the show.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The program offers viewers the ability to influence the course of the plot through two flavors of voting, by purchasing attention from the host via the channel points system, by using keywords in the chat, and by contributing bits (cheering) to progress towards comedic moments onscreen.<br><br><em>For a more in-depth discussion of interaction design for the show, check out our blog post on the topic:</em><br><a href="https://hardwork.party/news/2023/8/1/mass-interaction-design-one-to-many-to-one">Mass Interaction Design: One to Many to One</a></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In the host’s space, a teleprompter-like heads-up interface gives realtime information about users’ interactions, messages in the chat, new subscribers, prompts from backstage, and bit contributions, while displaying run of show information and a view into the guests’ space.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">In their studio, the guest is flanked by four screens displaying the chat, the live program feed, a mirrored view of the guest themself knocked out of their chromakey background, and messages from the technical director.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Among the growing list of features of the core application that drives the show are: </p><ul data-rte-list="default"><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">a full-featured scene-building production video switcher</p></li><li><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">realtime green screen and face-tracking</p></li><li><p class=""

Over and over, until all that remained was not his voice, but simply the drone of the most resonant frequencies in the room.<br><br>In 2021, we wondered what AI models would do if you fed them their own output, over and over, until there was nothing left of the initial prompt that kicked off the chain, and all that remained were the hallucinations of the AI.<br><br>Using then state-of-the-art generative AIs VQGAN+CLIP and GPT-3, collaborating pseudonymously as NA1 with illustrator and programmer Chuck Reina (under the name ZNO), we created a set of machine-hallucinated playing cards. <br><br>Each of the 50 decks of 60 cards was the result of a recursive process, feeding the previous cards in the deck back into the system until narratives, characters, histories, compulsive tics, and in-jokes emerged. The images were also made recursively, resulting in a flip-book appearance.<br><br>The theme of the collection was Entropy, thematically aligning the force of dissipation against life's tendency toward order.<br><br>In the world of the project, the cards were the result of a failed automation initiative at a major collectible card game company. In the eyes of the commissioning executives, the increasingly bizarre and unhinged output of their recursive AI system was unusable, so they scrapped the project and disconnected the machine that created it. <br><br>But an employee of the company became convinced that the AI was sentient, and in an effort to raise awareness of the machine's plight, she smuggled the cards to a local comic shop owner to sell at retail. <br><br>The website for the project featured a brilliant mini comic by ZNO and a classic 90s-style RPG interface for interacting with Ian, the comic shop proprietor, and for flipping through the cards in the store binder.<br><br>In addition to the high-resolution card images, we made poster-sized contact sheets and animated gifs for each deck.<br><br>To read more about the ideas and process behind the project, check out this <a href="https://nftnow.com/collectibles/nft-card-game-designed-and-created-by-ai/">this thoughtful writeup/interview with NA1 in nftnow</a>.<br><br><strong>Card Copy and Artwork:</strong> The Machine<br><strong>Card Copy and Artwork Code, Masters Posters:</strong> Noah Norman / NA1<br><strong>Data Management and Curation Tools, Card Background, Back, and Symbol Art, Ian, Entropy Website, Entropy Comic Book:</strong> <a href="https://astounding.company">Chuck Reina</a> / ZNO<br><br><strong>Acknowledgements:<br></strong>Esser, Baumbach, and Ommer: <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.09841">VQGAN</a><br>OpenAI: <a href="https://openai.com/research/clip" target="_blank">CLIP</a> and <a href="https://openai.com/blog/gpt-3-apps">GPT-3</a><br><a href="https://kath.io">Katherine Crowson</a> and <a href="https://rynmurdock.github.io" target="_blank">Ryan Murdock</a>: VQGAN+CLIP technique</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="64dd263f370ee6062ae943c1" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1692214848019-UD2TO73RLNCWJNY071FI/D11_G01_art_cropped.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/entropy" data-title="ENTROPY [2021]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_64dcf18b759bff1b37e02ca7"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/lovecraft-country/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>HBO + THE MILL / LOVECRAFT COUNTRY: SANCTUM [2020]</h1> <div class="body"><p class="">HBO’s Lovecraft Country was a genre-defying fantasy-horror that dealt with serious issues in a surreal way.

The streaming audience had their own layer of interaction available, where onscreen riddles invited viewers to guess answers in the YouTube chat, and the correct answer would invoke a ‘spell’ in the viewer’s name and take over, warping and bending the entire stream for a short time.</p><p class="">For this project, HWP helped The Mill design and engineer a streaming architecture and custom software that handled live audio/visual effects, multi-source switching, playback, recording, live titles, and streaming. We also created a smokey signature title effect and dozens of A/V ‘spells’, about 6 of which ended up being used in each of the 2020 live streams.<br><br>The project was timely and spectacular, earning over 100 press features and 13 million social impressions in the first week alone.<br><br><strong>_______________________________</strong></p><p class=""><strong>HBO + THE MILL: LOVECRAFT COUNTRY: SANCTUM</strong><br><br><strong>Client:</strong> HBO<br><strong>Brand:</strong> HBO<br><strong>Production Company:</strong> The Mill<br><strong>Creative Director:</strong> Rama Allen<br><strong>Executive Producer:</strong> Desi Gonzalez<br><strong>Experience Director:</strong> Aline Ridolfi<br><strong>Design Director:</strong> Sally Reynolds<br><strong>Technical Director:</strong> Kevin Young<br><strong>Senior Producer:</strong> Hayley Underwood Norton<br><strong>Strategist:</strong> Min Wei Lee<br><strong>Developer:</strong> Kim Koehler<br><strong>Streaming and Live Graphics System Design, Custom Software, Realtime Graphics:</strong> Noah Norman / Hard Work Party<br><br>September, 2020</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="64d64e300170bd5649db7476" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1691766320692-QRAXBFQQWJE1S8RH600R/LC_AmericanDream_Viola_SR_v003.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/lovecraft-country" data-title="HBO + THE MILL / LOVECRAFT COUNTRY: SANCTUM [2020]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_6123c85f9574c76570b66e81"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/indy-500/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>INDY 500 (2021)</h1> <div class="body"><p class="">For 2021’s Indianapolis 500, title sponsor NTT wanted to show off the power of their Smart Platform by using the thousands of streams of data coming off the car and track instrumentation to provide altogether new insights into the strategy of Indycar racing.

The result is at once awesome and subtle.</p><p>Because of the scale and complexity of the projections, as well as the audience proximity to the screens, we used <a target="_blank" href="http://vdmx.vidvox.net/blog/hap">HAP Q</a>, an open-source codec whose compression quality and performance were a must for this project. The compression allowed us to play back high-quality 4K video from an inexpensive commodity PC without losing the dynamics and subtlety of the busy and textured particle system.</p><p>For command and control, we used <a target="_blank" href="http://derivative.ca">TouchDesigner</a>. TouchDesigner's flexibility allowed us to continually grade the video playback for changing lighting and projection conditions, as well as to calibrate the smart lights used to illuminate the statues, both in terms of focus and color quality. Critically, TouchDesigner also allowed us to accommodate the ballet's scheduling needs, facilitating automatic projection, lighting, and sound strike and kill commands throughout the 6-week run without the use of external scheduling hardware.</p><p>Santtu's work shines, and his 14-minute composition feels painterly, austere, and delicate writ large in the promenade.

From the vantage of the open door, the projection reads more as a spotlight, and here our eye is drawn to the detritus surrounding the ‘subject apple’ - a pile of cast-offs, threads, support material, and partial prints.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Johari Window quadrant image courtesy of <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>.</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="63543597275eeb5f43048b5b" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1666463135038-3N3APVVL27CD0OB6BNVG/johari_window_front_v01.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/johari-window" data-title="JOHARI WINDOW [2022]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_635435515eff997ad89b7a56"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/thewalk/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>KORS + AV&C / WALKBOX [2017]</h1> <div class="body"><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For <a href="https://www.michaelkors.com/" target="_blank">Michael Kors</a>’ Shanghai ‘The Walk’ influencer event, NYC creative agency <a href="http://technologyhumansandtaste.com/" target="_blank">THAT</a> envisioned a photobooth writ large — a three-camera shoot moving down a 50’ walk against an LED wall placing the subjects in scenes shot on location around the world. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">THAT wisely tapped NYC tech wizards <a href="http://www.av-controls.com/" target="_blank">AV&C</a>, who knew in order to produce an edited multi-camera video, set to music with titles, every 60 seconds for 5 hours straight, they needed an inhuman editor. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">For that they brought on <a href="http://www.gettrashed.tv/" target="_blank">Trash TV</a>, a still-stealth startup developing two dovetailing machine learning softwares - one to tag video, one to edit. That provided a crucial piece of the puzzle - a near-instantaneous edit.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Beginning with Trash’s software as the cornerstone, Hard Work Party provided technical direction on a high-bandwidth humans-and-machines video pipeline, beginning at a user-centric check-in and stage management GUI, proceeding through an almost constantly-rolling live stage, onward to capture, ML edit, human edit pass, QA, transcode, and handoff.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The team created a stateful process management system, one where each users’ progress was managed from a handful of customized interfaces like the check-in iPads, a REST API for the automated stages, and browser-based GUIs for the postproduction team. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">On the front, that user-centric flow dovetailed with a stage-focused state machine, handling video playback, video capture, lighting, and projection on a downstage scrim to cover resets, all driven seamlessly by the stage manager’s tablet. </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Making all that possible - the pipes - was a stack of high-availability storage with the capability to serve up 32 concurrent streams of ProRes 422 at 1080 while keeping realtime sync with a hot backup. While invisible, that combination of storage and redundancy was critical to making it possible to deliver 273 30-second videos in 5 hours.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">The system was seamless and invisible, the videos were viewed by millions, and the event was nominated for a Webby and covered in WWD, Vogue, and probably a billion Chinese-language publications.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Client: Michael Kors<br>Agency: THAT<br>Experience, Software, Systems - Design & Implementation: AV&C<br>Technical Direction: Noah Norman / Hard Work Party<br>Machine Learning Edit Systems: TRASH</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Honors:<br>Nominated: Webbys 2018</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">November 15, 2017</p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="5b392c606d2a7342d2e48dbf" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1530313391071-0ZPNJ816E2Y467AS2L7A/KORS_SHANGHAI-16.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/thewalk" data-title="KORS + AV&C / WALKBOX [2017]"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_5b36accc2b6a286ca25ab3df"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/kexp/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>KEXP (2016)</h1> <div class="body"><p><a target="_blank" href="http://kexp.org/">KEXP</a> is more than a radio station - it's an institution, for both Seattle and for music fans worldwide.</p><p>The public station is known not just for its radio or web stream broadcasts, but increasingly for its polished and intimate video recordings of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.kexp.org/live/">live in-studio performances</a> from legends and up-and-comers alike.</p><p>In its former, more modest studios, KEXP's rather small live performance room became known for the christmas lights twinkling in the background bokeh.</p><p>Recently, through the largesse of its fans and a number of supporting organizations in the Seattle area, KEXP was given entirely new, updated facilities, including a vastly upgraded live performance room.

All are controlled by a Surface tablet from which the team can change any looks' colors, speed, brightness, and masking on the fly.</p><p>The LED display itself is a custom-manufactured system to Crumley's spec, permanently installed into the structure of the room. Inherent in the system design was an added challengeportunity (opporchallenge?) in that alternating LED columns were offset by 6" both vertically and in depth, creating opportunities for parallax effects and challenges in signal generation and previs.</p><p>After a successful kickoff performance in January 2017, we look forward to seeing what the KEXP team do with the system and seeing the twinkle in the background of their videos for years to come. </p><p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px"> </p><p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px"> </p><p style="margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px">Production Companies: Hard Work Party & Slanted Studios for Listen and Microsoft<br />Producer: Jen Vance<br />Technical Direction and LED Engineering: David Crumley<br />Software Development and Realtime Animations: Noah Norman and Michelle Higa<br />Additional Animations: Michelle Higa and Terra Henderson<br />Surface Programming: Charlie Whitney</p><p>Jan 11, 2017</p><p><em>Photos 1 and 4 [the good ones] by Amber Knecht for KEXP</em></p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="58758f3644024353e51160c7" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1484099384234-4RNR9SRMZREUWFQTNZF8/KEXP_HWP_selects-5.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/kexp" data-title="KEXP (2016)"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_587589758419c21875838cf6"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/viacom-composition-vi/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>VIACOM / COMPOSITION VI (2015)</h1> <div class="body"><p><em>Interactive Installation for 12 Players<br />(2) x UHD Video Walls<br />TouchDesigner, Kinect, Nvidia Quadro K6000, Custom Server Hardware</em></p><p>Composition VI is a site-specific artwork installed in the lobby of Viacom's Times Square building at 1515 Broadway.</p><p>The piece was the result of a series of independent creative iterations, beginning with meditative live image manipulation and eventually arriving at this complex force and particle system using Kinect input to drive interaction.</p><p>As visitors move through the lobby space, their paths and body movement are flattened into an orthographic space, spanning both massive video walls across the lobby, rendered as directional flechettes, and painted with a dynamic color system.</p><p>A sophisticated rule set, refined through extensive user testing, assigns attractive and repulsive forces and particle emitters to users' heads and hands.

It's also space that's been known for the installation art and idiosyncrasies that set the tone and give the room a DIY loft feel.</p><p>Our installation at Glasslands is a distributed, modular design that uses common mailer tubes (treated for flame retardancy) to house over 300 RGB LEDs, individually addressable, passed through diffusion, and mounted in clusters about the venue. <br /><br />In an attempt to speak to the warm, intimate feel of the space, the design deliberately destabilizes the stage / house dichotomy by spreading from the upstage wall all the way to the entrance of the venue. Because each tube is individually addressable, the system can can highlight the three downstage 'chandeliers' over the performers' heads, or the cluster over the house DJ position, even individual tubes peeking into the bathroom stalls, or can treat the whole room as one large canvas, passing shapes through the point-space like spotlights or stripes. <br /><br />Driving the system is our custom software, refined through over a year of development and onsite testing. It's a dynamic set of high-level controls that allows house sound engineer (GL has no full time lighting guy) to direct the software based on the same subjective criteria used to describe music, or the feel of an interior, offering direction like 'darker, cooler colors, dimmer in the house, slower moving', freeing up the venue crew to focus on the task at hand while providing adjustable, appropriate, and dynamic looks with minimal intervention, whether through the onscreen interface and built-in LFOs, MIDI controls, or OSC over wireless.<br /><br />AM owes huge thanks to the Glasslands owners Rami Haykal and Jake Rosenthal, staff Josh Thiel and Cameron Hulk, plus Eileen Tang, Trevor Hufnagel, Francisco Casablanca, Guillermo Echevarria, Dark Momino, Chuck Reina, and many more who gave countless hours to project, strictly on faith and love of tubes. </p><p>Made in <a target="_blank" href="https://cycling74.com/">Max</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Lighting Engineering: Jason Fellows</p><p>Avery Tare photos courtesy of <a href="http://www.jbergs.com/">Jason Bergman</a><br />Grid photo courtesy of Eileen Tang<br /> </p><p><em>Tubesoft uses the very awesome <a target="_blank" href="http://www.theimpersonalstereo.com/software/imp-dmx/">imp.dmx</a> ArtNet library by David Butler.</em></p></div> <div class="share-like"> <span class="squarespace-social-buttons inline-style" data-system-data-id="5390d806e4b092c53cf2ffe8" data-asset-url="https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/538c81d0e4b0573d1379a8dc/1402001414444-4X31ZWZDXOC8WLH8W5G4/tumblr_mol91fvBMO1r6eqnoo2_1280.jpg" data-record-type="" data-full-url="/glasslands-permanent-installation" data-title="GLASSLANDS (2013)"></span> </div> </div> <div class="gallery" id="detail_5390d165e4b02f9150b99234"> <div class="sqs-spin"></div> </div> </div> <div class="project-item clearfix visually-hidden" data-dynamic-href="/nothin-but-net/" data-type-name="gallery" > <div class="meta"> <h1>NOTHIN' BUT 'NET (2017)</h1> <div class="body"><p>Nothin' But 'Net is v1 of a GIF-driven basketball hoop game, conceived and commissioned by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.darkigloo.com/">Dark Igloo</a> for <a target="_blank" href="https://giphy.com/">GIPHY</a>, with guts by Hard Work Party and body by Rob Ebeltoft.</p><p>The machine loads a series of GIFs via GIPHY's API and switches GIFs when you make a bucket.

The function had to be simple and robust enough to withstand constant use by the public, unmonitored for 3 days. <br /><br />For the physical display component, we built a rear-projection system housed in a custom cabinet - a single projector throwing what looked like 5 separate channels of content onto floating panels of custom-cut rear projection plexiglass. <br /><br />For interactive playback control, we wrote an iOS app and embedded the iPad into a purpose-built kiosk. <br /><br />Control messages originating at the kiosk made their way to our purpose-made software playback system to allow on-the-fly adjustment of video geometry and timing, making it possible to fine tune the placement of images on the floating panels throughout the settling process of the housing cabinet. </p><p>The result was kind of magic.
