XOHOLO is an immersive audiovisual art installation created for CineChamber, a surround-screen projection environment conceived by Recombinant Media Labs. A modular cube more akin to Stonehenge than a movie theater, CineChamber has exhibited internationally at film festivals and art events for over a decade. In 2021, Gray Area in San Francisco partnered with RML to host the system on-site, inviting a select group of artists to prototype new forms of spatial cinema.

The chamber’s unusual space (defined by its cubic format and vertically compressed field of view) began an inquiry that led me to create Point Cloud Cinema, a method for transforming spatial data into a performative medium using 3D scans, point clouds, and audio-reactive visual systems built with Niagara Effects in Unreal Engine.

Using my iPhone, I scanned everyday objects with LiDAR and kept them in a visual diary. These entries were shared as immersive audiovisual rituals meant to be experienced as a group rather than navigated alone.
