Content Visuals & Notch Treatments

Dreamachine

Created for Giveon’s Coachella 2026 mainstage performance, this project explored how the qualities of analogue film could be translated into a live, real-time environment. Working in collaboration with Dreamachine Studio and Show Designers Douglas Green and 1826 Studio, I developed a series of design studies exploring grain, halation, bloom, colour response and image degradation.


These explorations informed a flexible visual system in Notch that evolved throughout the performance as the show transitioned from sunset into night.


Alongside the live camera treatments, I created a series of visual environments including cinematic gradients and a stylised architectural world inspired by the Hollywood Bowl. Combined with Dreamachine Studio’s content, these elements formed a warm and filmic visual language that carried through both the live performance and broadcast.
