PIP'S PLACE, An iteration of my original UE4 project, made for New Rendezvous St. featuring Persephone's cup gameplay video.
PERSEPHONE'S CUP, An iteration of my developing UE5 project, Persephone's Cup, featuring a teaser trailer.
i was invited to build my own spaces as well as curate the important New rendezvous St online exhibition, which was presented at the SXSW conference at UK House, Texas.
In this collaborative curation I was tasked with creating other artist's worlds by using their 3d objects and videos in a dynamic arrangement, as well as designing the world map, which would designate where to create portals that would take the viewer on a journey through the various worlds.
It was my first time using New Art City, a virtual exhibition space. We collectively decided to disavow the idea of a 3d gallery, and instead encouraged selected artists to send us sufficient files to create 3d worlds as more effective presentations of their work.
