Entangled: Immersive Projection Mapping Installation
Experience Entangled; the immersive experience by OBLSK Interactive. Explore haunting and beautiful environments as you adventure through the tableau. Through motion graphics, projection mapping, and Lenticular technology used in the sculptural design, Entangled will enthrall audiences with a fantastic dreamscape of optical illusion, storytelling, and unforgettable imagery.
This project consists of a sculptural installation designed to create an immersive environment in which simple three dimensional shapes (square columns) are used
as a projection surface. The piece becomes a location for viewers to have virtual experiences. The possible environments are endless. They could be, for example, a dark enchanted forest, an alien landscape, or a more playful haunted house.
The structured consists of sixteen 18″ by 18” square large columns that are 10′ tall. The participant can explore the installation by walking through and in between the columns. Each column has projection mapped video on all four sides so what the participant sees and experience is changed based on their position and the direction they face.

PULSE: Pyramids
OBLSK: PULSE
Pulse is a modular 3d sculpture created by OBLSK, with support from Capital University Audio Engineering Students and Greater Columbus Arts Council, that captures the pulse of Columbus, Ohio. Patterns found in the city’s sounds and textures are translated into light and color, which play on the surfaces of 3 floating triangular pyramids. Through RGB LEDs and video projection, Pulse comes alive as a glowing prism of energy, revealing the rhythm of the heart of Columbus.
Pulse was presented at the Columbus Arts Festival Patron Party on June 10th and was a huge success adding color and ambience to the festivities as well as innovation and curiosity.
Special Thanks to the Greater Columbus Arts Council, ZenGenius, the Cultural Arts Center, and CoverMyMeds.

Vessels: bio-data: interactive sculpture
Vessels created by Pelham Johnston and eve Warnock is an interactive sculpture that uses the participants heart rate and transposes it into a sequence of air and water which plays onto a steel drum. Vessels was commissioned by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco for the Transflux Exhibition, a three month exhibition In the Room for Big Ideas gallery with Artist Gene Felice, Nate Ober, and Kate Spacek. Curated by Katya Min. To read more about the Transflux exhibition please visit the SF ART News review by Michal Gavish.
Vessels was just recently presented at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco for the NightLife LIVE electronic music series, representing OpenLab, where we transformed the heart rate into a continuous stream of data that glowed from ultraviolet light.
As artist we are interested creating an interface using technology where the viewers feel connected with their body through their interactions.
