Cyklonaut

Created	2022
Location	Revúca
Collaborators	Ján Šicko, Diana Mrázová
Medium	Projection Interactive Event

Interactive projection mapping inspired by the first Slovak science fiction novel, Hviezdoveda. The projection was displayed on the facade of the Revúca gymnasium, which is being transformed into the Litterra exhibition space.

The viewer can participate in the projection by using a stationary bike to control the speed, direction, and appearance of certain scenes. There are also collectible items scattered throughout the journey for the Cyklonaut to collect. The projection uses real-time reactions to the bike's handling and features imaginative compositions designed with TouchDesigner. The scenes are meant to depict a view of the future as seen through a historical lens.

My contribution to the Cyklonaut project consisted mainly in the visual component of the work. Ján Šicko was responsible for the concept and visual aspect, Diana Mrázová worked on the hardware side. During the event, the projection was accompanied by the music of Stroon.
