‘The Ever Changing Flow’ a Digital Diorama
I was selected as one of the five finalists for my proposal submission to create a digital diorama entitled "The Ever Changing Flow". My concept welcome viewers into an immersive landscape, taking them on a journey through the LA river's history from its natural, biodiverse ecosystem to its current state as a concrete channel.
This captivating multimedia diorama concept seamlessly blends traditional mediums such as plant and animal specimens, with cutting-edge extended reality technologies such as projection mapping and 3D rendered backgrounds to showcase changing museum display techniques for the Los Angeles Natural History Museum centennial exhibition as part of the Getty Foundation’s Pacific Standard Time 2024 initiative.
This proposal was created in partnership with Mar Sorell as the projection mapping artist and Jet Olaño as the Previs CAD artist.

To seamlessly blend the multimedia aspects into one immersive experience, a customized backdrop would be fabricated to simulate an eye-level viewpoint for the viewer. The scenes projected on the immersive display will be rendered from the viewer's viewpoint and geometrically corrected for off-axis projection. This approach delivers a forced perspective experience, creating an illusion of a true depth-of-field into the horizon of our scene.
This concept also features sound design for each scene to create and engaging edutainment experience for viewers. These elements provide an immersive value, allowing visitors to explore the diorama at their own pace and gain a deeper understanding of the exhibit and its context.
