ISAM
In 2011 Vello Virkhaus and VSquared Labs were commissioned to direct what became one of the most influential live electronic music shows of our time. The projection mapped visual spectacle that was ISAM Live blew minds around the world and inspired countless artists. A large team was assembled to create the high quality content, interactive tools, effects and production design and execution. Peter Sistrom of [namethemachine] was incredibly honored to be a core member of the team that developed and toured the show.

Working for V Squared Labs, Peter held many roles in the development and execution of ISAM. He coordinated between the various animators for the show in order to make sure their content mapped well and was effective. He also programmed the core playback system for the show and integrated what was then very experimental mapping technology built by LVTHN into the touring system. He created and co-created a few of the visual pieces that occurred during the show as well as traveled to every show to setup and run the visuals each night.
