Phoenix is an immersive digital installation that explores the theme of metamorphosis through the legendary myth of the Phoenix. Using 3D software tools Maya and Blender, the team has created a visually rich depiction of the mythical bird and its symbolic home—Heliopolis, the ancient Egyptian city associated with rebirth. Integrating TouchDesigner, the experience incorporates interactive audio and real-time motion tracking to deepen user engagement.
Visitors to the installation can choose between two narrative paths: a spoken-word journey that explores the Phoenix’s life cycle and its spiritual symbolism, or a dynamic musical experience that invites them to interact with the Phoenix through movement. As users engage with the bird, it responds in real time, creating a unique interplay between sound, motion, and digital form.
Phoenix invites reflection on transformation, rebirth, and the power of mythology in the digital age.
