Concept
This projection mapping piece was designed to reflect the concept of ‘Epoch’, meaning “An extended period of time, esp. one in which there are new advances and great change.”

In recent years our world has increasingly succumbed to the turbulent effects of climate change. 

With Epoch we tried to subtly weave in some visual representations of issues caused by this turbulence. Doing so, we hoped to encourage our audience to think about its impacts from a distance. We designed this piece with a focus on aesthetic value intertwined with important narrative of how our choice in the present can impact on the future.

Description
The 3.30-minute-long animation evolves through four stages into a variety of scenes showing both a bleak cemented vision of the world and an enchanting ethereal picture of hope. Christ Church Cathedral was the perfect canvas for this theme as the building has undergone periods of  reconstruction throughout the years with the old and new exposed brickwork giving visual clues to its transformation over time. 

The design process involved building a 3 dimensional model of the structure with further design changes to create 4 new architectural scenes. These included a representation of the interiors and a decorative gold coat washed over the facade.
