BlackTrax Four Years On: Tupac Martir Presents Nierka at V&A Evening TalkVisionary multidisciplinary artist, Tupac Martir alongside Wallpaper* magazine editor-in-chief, Tony Chambers, will present "MultiMedia Renaissance Man" at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London on Friday, February 5. The talk will celebrate his vision, humble Huichol roots, design collaborations, architecture, and experiences including the famous Nierka performance four years ago. Nierka was the first project ever to use BlackTrax real-time motion tracking solution from CAST BlackTrax Ltd. "I'm not just a lighting or video designer, I am someone who creates powerful trans-media storytelling," says Martir. BlackTrax was an integral part of the video element of Nierka, used to track four projection screens on wheels, while they were moved around the stage by the performers, to tell the moving representation and realization of the human spirit around death. "BlackTrax opened doors to how moving stage sets could be used and I feel immensely proud that since Nierka, it has evolved and is used in the world's greatest multimedia projects such as Muse, Cirque, Disney, and other global projects," explains Martir. Martir is recognized by Vogue magazine as "the visual designer and creative director behind some of the most important events in the world" and by Wallpaper* magazine as "a light magician," some of his best-known works have been with Alexander McQueen, Xu Bing, Nierka, and Beyonce.
