Climbing Ararat
What’s it like to climb Turkey’s highest mountain?



 

Mountain Ararat (Ağrı Dağı), at 5,137 meters, is Turkey's highest peak. The installation was inspired by my personal experience of climbing to the top of this mountain. It captures the final ascent to the top from the second camp at 4,100 meters.

The installation was made in TouchDesigner. It reacts to light and tracks the movement of the beam.



Process To create this visual, I used blob tracking in TouchDesigner, which allowed me to track the brightest thing that the camera can spot.
