Fondation
Louis Vuitton

2020
FLVX is a real-time mediation installation built for the Fondation Louis Vuitton auditorium, developed during FLV LAB#4.
It starts from a premise: imagine the Fondation has disappeared, and the only thing left to rebuild it is the flow of data it once produced visitor movement, gestures, traces.

The project

A large-scale projection displays a 3D model that evolves through the day as live data comes in from sensors across the auditorium. Visitors don't watch passively: a Leap Motion reads their hand gestures, letting them navigate and reshape the reconstruction without touching anything. A tablet timeline lets them replay earlier states of the day and leave with their own generated plan of the Fondation.

Exhibition view — projection and visitor

What I worked on:

  • Real-time system from concept to on-site deployment (TouchDesigner runtime, projection-ready pipeline)
  • Contactless interaction layer — hand gestures via Leap Motion to navigate and manipulate the 3D model
  • Tablet timeline interface to replay the day and export each visitor's plan
  • Live data ingestion and smoothing driving the generative building structure and floor plans from visitor movement
