Ashes Reborn
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.
