This is a VJ system developed for an audio-visual performance at Sazareba #005. All effects are implemented in UE5 and rendered in real-time to produce interactive visuals synchronized with the audio. Specifically, TouchDesigner is used to receive and analyze audio signals in real-time, then transmit the audio data to UE5 via the OSC protocol. In UE5, the system is primarily divided into a camera controller and a VFX controller, both of which have their parameters controlled by a MIDI controller via the MIDI protocol.

In the future, with the advancement of technology, I believe each of us will have a digital avatar. This avatar, reflecting our characteristics, will be constructed from data collected from our physical bodies. Building on this idea, I used AI to generate new images that resemble, but are not identical to, my physical appearance by using photos of parts of my body. I then used these newly generated images as a texture, filling the entire screen via video, transforming the screen into an extension of my digital avatar and exploring the broader possibilities of future digital embodiments.

Create a grid of square planes, then animate them through scaling and rotation. By applying materials to add color, the result can be used as a UV coordinate map.

After duplicating the UVs, apply downward motion using a Transform operation, then convert the result into a polar coordinate-based pattern. The AI-generated skin texture image is then processed and mapped onto the animated UVs using a Remap node, resulting in a dynamic visual effect.
