Tao: Projection Mapped Quan Yin Buddha

The Quan Yin is a 25-foot tall sculpture that sits atop a koi pond in TAO's restaurants in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. Through 3D projection mapping technology that utilizes animation to create visuals such as flowing waterfalls and growing moss, the Quan Yin is brought to life right before your eyes. We created a custom 3D projection map for the buddha, and then produced 15 short stories that 3D animate the sculpture Animated stories include: Moss and organic plants growing from the buddha, Custom tattooing inks the buddha, Chakras paint upon the buddha using ancient symbols, A greyscale dragon wraps the buddha with a pearl, Japanese neon lights from Tokyo set the buddha ablaze in light, The quad yin’s heart-light pumps covering the buddha in loving light, Electric butterflies perch upon the quad yin, Blackbirds fly across the buddha creating the elusion of the statue disappearing before your eyes.
