Vanishing Point employs perspective as both tool and visual outcome to reshape, redefine and represent a pristine space. Lines are sent into space, creating different volumes, divisions and rooms to be explored by the audience.
CAN talks to Ash Nehru (Director of software) and Matt Clark (Creative Director) about d3 – visual production suite that brought us the memorable Massive Attack tour in 2002 and more recent projects like the Origin. We talk how it all came about, what is the tool, it’s features, working methodology and the future.
