Architectural mapping on the facade of the Perm Opera and Ballet Theatre for the Prosvet light festival. The building as a living mechanism.

"Mechanics of Winds" was my work for the Prosvet light festival in Perm, built around the theme "Harmony of Opposites: Nature + Technology". I turned the facade of the Tchaikovsky Opera and Ballet Theatre into a living mechanism.

Columns work as flasks, cornices as gears. Vortices of light and shadow run across the stone; the building stops being static architecture — air, energy, memory circulate inside it.

AI and generative graphics here aren't an effect, they're a way to fold nature and machine into a single rhythm. The facade becomes a place where element, machine and I are in conversation.
