Tree of Light

Interactive Installation | MAT 111FS Nefeli Manoudaki | 2026 | Robert Giron, Irene Chong, Cailyn Apistar, Samantha Shayne, Alisa Moyse

A interactive screen projection displayed at UCSB's Translab, this project features L-System and Particle nodework on Touchdesigner paired with an OAK D Pro camera and microphone. Audience members are encouraged to step towards the projection to watch it grow in real time via motion sensing. The projection also creates visual noise and feedback reaction through volume disruptions. The Tree of Light beckons us to view reality as interconnected and enlightening.
