Will Ryman "Pac-Lab" Design

Worked with artist Will Ryman to create the "Pac-man" inspired labyrinth. Hand-sculpted clay elements were scanned at a high resolution using an Artec Spider scanner. 3D renderings were produced to finalize color and layout, while a real-time version was created to experience the public sculpture virtually. Scanned sculptures were milled from foam and hard-coated for durablity. The piece was exhibited in Parc la Villette in Paris and Art Omi in NY.
