Synopsis

Smoke a bit too much dope, and you can experience depersonalization. But what about when you take nootropics, the so-called "smart drugs?" In the video for Rawtekk's "Here's To Them," filmmaker and digital artist denial.of.service attempts to find out. Working with iPhone footage and Microsoft Kinect 3D scans, denial.of.service not only explores "hardcore nootropic"-triggered depersonalization, but also dystopia, observation, and reaction.

The results of denial.of-service's scripting in Processing 3.x are incredibly mind-bending. It's by turns dark, geometric, molten, and in a perpetual mode of shape-shifting. "Both the sonics [and] keyword/general concepts list I'd requested from the band led into this rather bleak cybernetic mashup of broken 3D scans CG and heavy stylization via code," denial.of.service tells The Creators Project.

"The rest was either fast 3D scans carried (point clouds captured via Brekel's code) and some crude 3DS Max close-up humanoid renders."

Denial.of.service explains that within Processing, toxi libraries-open-source libraries for computational design tasks like generative visuals-were used. Specifically, RGB-plotted, sound-reactive centroids (the intersection points of a triangle's three medians) define and drive the various geometric shapes seen in the video. Denial.of.service also used Lloyd's relaxation algorithms to get a smooth transition between the geometries.

Denial.of.service made computer graphic liquids in Trapcode's Form. The 3D point cloud animations were extracted from the 3D tracking software PFtrack in many successive layers of increasing depth.
