Overview
Stardust Playground is an immersive audiovisual installation designed for a large-scale multi-projection environment.
The work combines audio-reactive particle systems, spatial projection, and real-time visual behavior to create an evolving audiovisual space across the entire exhibition environment.

Process & System
Multi-Projection Space Design
The installation was designed for a five-projector environment using a custom 9600×1080 visual layout spanning multiple walls across the exhibition space.
Projection Mapping Planning
Custom projection masks and wall measurements were used to align the visuals precisely with the physical architecture of the exhibition space.
Audio-Reactive Visual System
The visual system was developed in TouchDesigner using real-time audio-reactive particle behavior designed specifically for immersive large-scale projection environments.
Projection Environment Documentation
The final installation transformed the exhibition space into a continuously evolving audiovisual environment using synchronized multi-projection across the entire room.
The work was presented as part of the semi-immersive exhibition “physical reality” at studio uca in Tokyo.
Concept / Installation Design Approach
The project began with an original piece of dreamy pop-electronic music composed prior to the visual development.
The lightweight and fluid qualities of the sound became the foundation for the particle-based visual system and the overall spatial atmosphere of the installation.
Because the exhibition allowed visitors to enter and leave freely throughout the experience, the installation was designed as a continuously evolving audiovisual state rather than a fixed narrative structure.
Instead of requiring viewers to follow a beginning or ending, the work focused on creating an immersive environment that could naturally be entered at any moment within the exhibition space.
