    uniE621 REEDUCATED - VR Animated Documentary
    In 2021, I had the honor of working with Dirt Empire and The New Yorker on a VR animated documentary. I was responsible for scene composition, lighting, and animation. The New Yorker’s “Reeducated,” an immersive V.R. documentary, directed by Sam Wolson, with reporting by Ben Mauk, illustrations by Matt Huynh and animation by Nicholas Rubin/Dirt Empire, that takes viewers inside the secret world of a “reëducation” camp in Xinjiang, China. In the spring of 2017, authorities in Xinjiang began detaining thousands of Uighurs, Kazakhs, and other predominantly Muslim minorities in secret extrajudicial detention camps. By 2018, as many as a million people were held in a vast network of “reëducation centers.” Guided by the eyewitness accounts of three men—Erbaqyt Otarbai, Orynbek Koksebek, and Amanzhan Seituly, all ethnically Kazakh—who were imprisoned at a facility in Tacheng in 2017, the film illuminates what is likely the largest mass internment of ethnic and religious minorities since the Second World War. “Reeducated” premièred at SXSW, in the Virtual Cinema category, and received the film festival’s Special Jury Recognition for Immersive Journalism. It has gone on to win top prizes from France's NewImages, Germany's VRHAM and has been shown at many other festivals including the 78th Venice Film Festival VR Expanded section. As of 2023 Reeducated was awarded a 2022 News and Documetary Emmy in the Outstanding Interactive Medica Category as well as a Peabody Award for Immersive and Interactive. “Reeducated” was supported by the Pulitzer Center, the Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism, and the Online News Association, and accompanies the interactive New Yorker feature “Inside Xinjiang’s Prison State.”…

    uniE621 The Gates - 20th Anniversary Augmented Reality
    At the end of 2024, I had the opportunity to work with Dirt Empire on an Augmented Reality recreation of Christo and Jeanna-Claude's art installation "The Gates." I was responsible for creating a top-down 2.5D map of Central Park that was printed and displayed at the guest center. In 2005, The Gates by artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude transformed Central Park, drawing over four million visitors over its 16 days on display. This groundbreaking project, which spanned 23 miles of paths in the park, inspired and revived a city that had been impacted by the tragedy of 9/11 and sparked a global conversation about the power of public art. February 12, 2025 marks the 20th Anniversary of Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s The Gates in Central Park — Dirt Empire is honored to have played a lead creative role in designing two unique AR projects in conjunction with the retrospective exhibit at The Shed: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City. The Gates Augmented Reality Experience is a virtual re-creation of the Gates that can be viewed on select walkways of Central Park starting at E 72nd and 5th Ave. The AR experience is available for free through Bloomberg Connects app and was co-created with immersive engineering studio SUPERBRIGHT. The Gates Interactive Map at The Shed allows visitors to explore the full scope of The Gates with a tabletop interactive AR map built in collaboration with studio Pixels Pixels as part of the exhibition: Christo and Jeanne-Claude: The Gates and Unrealized Projects for New York City. The experience consists of an 18 foot tabletop map and iPads with custom software that gives viewers an interactive birds-eye view above Central Park and see where all of the Gates were installed and unlock archival artworks, photos, and 360 panoramas of the original installation by photographer Sam Rohn.…
