The Crystal Forest

Rabbit Revolution partnered with Hydrotechnics Festival, a music festival in upstate New York, to lead the art direction and stage design of their woods stage. I drew inspiration from crystal geodes for a design that became a hallmark of the event across two consecutive years.

On the banks of scenic Echo Lake, I led the Rabbit Revolution team in tackling the challenge of creating a lightweight installation built around an existing A-frame structure. I 3D modeled the concept and used a CNC router to produce cutting templates for each piece. We fabricated and assembled the pieces of the installation, then transported it flat-packed to the site for final assembly, bringing it to life through a combination of LEDs and projection mapping. In year two, I expanded the design with additional atmospheric sculptures featuring pixel-mapped LEDs and intelligent lighting.
