The Vessel
Transparent OLED Sculpture
Infocomm 2023
A Living Canvas of Light
The Vessel reimagines how digital content can inhabit space. Through a layered composition of motion and transparency, the sculpture merges real-world objects with dynamic media to create a new architectural form.
A Transparent Canvas
Eight 55-inch transparent OLED panels form a crystalline display surface that wraps fully around the object inside. The faceted geometry is engineered for clarity, transparency, and visibility from all angles, allowing media to sit in the same physical space as the sculpture’s contents.
Particle Simulations in Motion
Custom particle simulations rendered in 3D in 8K at 60fps move fluidly across every surface of The Vessel. These motion sequences create texture, energy, and atmospheric depth—turning the display case into an active digital environment. The visuals feel suspended within the volume of the sculpture, giving the installation a sense of motion and presence.
A Continuous Field of Motion
Pixel-mapped lighting inside the Vessel and around its base responds in harmony with the media on the transparent OLEDs. Subtle shifts in color and motion create a cohesive visual field, making the entire structure feel connected and alive as light travels through and around the form.
