Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLouise Lessél is a Danish-born New Media Artist and Lead Creative Technologist based in New York with over a decade of experience designing immersive installations, projection mapping, and performance-driven real-time systems. She leads technical pipelines and R&D for live performance, XR, and experiential environments at institutions and studios such as Rockwell Group, DE-YAN, and NYU, while running an independent practice and the artist duo uberørt. Louise bridges experimental prototyping and large-scale deployment using tools like TouchDesigner, Unreal, Unity, custom shaders, and motion-capture, often tightly coupling visuals to live sound and scenography. As an Adjunct Professor at NYU ITP she teaches architectural projection mapping and mentors students on translating conceptual ideas into robust technical implementations. Her work uniquely explores how light, sound, and computation reshape collective perception and narrative in space, with projects ranging from experimental opera to brand and museum exhibitions. Fluent in both creative direction and low-level technical execution, she thrives where artistic ambition meets production-grade systems engineering.
