I had a lot of fun bringing these illustrations to life for an interactive mural at Dubai Expo 2020, with the incredible team at Fitzroy Hawk. The black outline of the mural was painted onto an 18m wide wall with conductive paint, and set up so that touching a section triggered an animation. Different combinations unlocked hidden animations, creating a fun and immersive interactive experience.
This project was a creative and technical challenge, as animations couldn't break the painted outlines, rather having to add to them, and had to be carefully ordered when intersecting. Lots of masks and mattes involved! Below are a few of my favourite animations and the full sequence in one glorious burst.
