Explore The North Lost Voices
The relentless struggle of artists to be seen and heard lies at the heart of the design. It captures the tension between presence and absence, the pursuit of recognition, and the defiance of silence. Within the festival identity, the silenced voices of diverse artists come to life, vying for attention. This dynamic is beautifully visualized through experimental motion and sound design, where the voices of festival artists fade away only to emerge powerfully once more. Inspired by the festival theme, the idea emerged to explore the interplay between the power of sound, motion, and their dynamic interaction. This led to a search for ways to make visuals respond to audio, ultimately spotlighting the potential of Touch Designer software. An in-depth exploration of this visual programming language followed, bringing invisible forces to life through thousands of particles and their distortion and transformation.
