Immersive Memory with TouchDesigner and Ableton

I’m excited to share Immersive Memory, an interactive experience set in AlUla’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site with a rich history in incense trade.

This installation spans three distinct spaces, tied together by a spatial audio score by @mattfaddymusic. Each chapter invites visitors to engage with unique visuals inspired by incense, brought to life through physical interactions.

It was a fun challenge to design the system to run for six months, distributing it across multiple servers while experimenting with particle systems, LIDAR tracking, and spatial audio using TouchDesigner and Ableton. Really excited to see it all come together!

I had an amazing time collaborating with this talented team:
Creative Direction: @martinamargaux
Project Lead: @ai_iul_ia
Project by: @aimes.art
Thanks to @numberwano for being a model in the video and for all the help with the physical install!
Also, huge thank you to @function.str for the LIDAR calibration toolkit and pointers!
