Meet Dalai Felinto: the software engineer / artist who is working on providing the software and images for projection inside the dome. We got the chance to ask him a couple of questions, so enjoy!

Who are you, and what do you do?

Simply put: I’m an architect / urban planner, born and raised in Brazil. I am currently working with computer graphics; my most important current job being the development of visualization projects for the Fisheries Center in the University of British Columbia. I work primarily with the 3D tool Blender, although I haven’t given up on my sketch book, and have great fun learning more and more computer programming.

On top of that I have music as one of my hobbies, and I’m pretty excited about the 2010 World Cup competition.

Why do you support Cosmic Sensation?

At the end of 2008 I was contacted by the Society of Arts and Technology – an art school in Montreal, Canada – to provide a workframe solution for interactive visualizations within fulldomes. They hired me to extend the open source Blender Game Engine for full support of this immersive technology.

Meet the people who are working on the Cosmic Sensation project! Today: an interview with Peter Nijborn, musical director and long-time DJ.

Who are you?

I am Peter Nijborn and musical director at Office Broomer, the producer of Cosmic Sensation. I have been a DJ for about 25 years and during this period I have played in Rotterdam at regular evenings in Nighttown and various small niche clubs. My expertise has developed while experiencing – as a DJ – the enormous time span in which disco, house, hip hop and hard rock has evolved. After years of playing records, I shifted towards productions and special assignments, usually for Office Broomer.

What do you do for Cosmic Sensation?

I am Musical Director within the Cosmic Sensation project. In preparation for the project, I determine the musical genre and choose the songs for the CD. During the event I will play the special Cosmic Remix every evening. The choice for the genre for Cosmic Sensation was an easy one: we’ll link the idea to the new trend inside Dance, Nu-Disco (a crossing between the 80’s and contemporary dance). During events in the Dome, we noticed that the combination of images in the Dome and the Nu-Disco make a perfect fit. But please note that this will not be a regular House event, but the music will complete the whole Cosmic Sensation experience. At this moment, we are working on the CD, which is the guideline for Cosmic Sensation.
