Refract
Immersive art and experiential design studio theme, built dense and layered because the work it showcases is dense and layered. Real-time GPU motion runs through the site in overlapping fields rather than a single hero effect, giving generative light and motion installations a background that behaves like their own medium. A near-black panel system keeps everything gallery-dark, so photography and video of actual installations read the way they would in the room. It acts like an environment, not a brochure.

Highlights
- The catalogue’s densest, most layered real-time GPU motion
- Built to showcase generative light/motion installation work honestly
- Near-black panel system for gallery-dark presentation
- Installation/Commission content type with venue, year & medium
Overview
Refract is deliberately the densest, most layered GPU-motion theme in this catalogue — built for studios whose actual work is generative light and motion installations, where a thin, restrained site would undersell the work rather than represent it. Near-black panels keep the presentation gallery-dark, the way installation work is usually photographed and exhibited.
An Installation/Commission content type captures venue, year and technical medium per piece, so an experiential design studio’s portfolio reads with the same specificity a gallery wall label would.
