World Sculpting Workshop with Nino Filiu

World Sculpting Workshop with Nino Filiu

Description:
Environment design is a defining building block of most works of video games and CGI, but usually takes an significant amount of time to complete. In this workshop will be introduced a workflow involving free tools to procedurally generate large and complex environments fasts: landscape sculpting, scattering of foliage and trees, and ground texturing. This workflow has been used by the instructor in several works of internationally exhibited art games and films.

Bio:
They are a tech artist exploring novel digital experiences enabled by emerging technologies. What if a sculpture got scared when you got too close? How does it feels to control a video game with DJ hardware? What do the bioelectricity of plants sound like? Can the web be used as a medium for interactive narratives? How do NPCs feel when you delete their game from your computer? They spent the past few years asking questions like these in the shape of video games, interactive art, visual art, and more; either as solo works or as collective works with Distraction.
