QT UR EA an art installation inspired by open-world video games Directed by artists Mary-Audrey Ramirez and produced by Lukas Schmek.
They have transformed Berlin’s Trauma Bar und Kino into an immersive alien environment using sound, dance, motion capture, performance and CGI renderings of virtual worlds. On the opening night bod [包家巷], Alza_54, Oli XL, Ifeoluwa and Simon Goff performed while eight dancers enacted a series of alien rituals and interactions.
My job was to create creatures and other in game assets for the real time motion capture avatars carried by the performers. Bellow is the library of the characters created for the real time usage:
