People to Watch in 2017: Jason White
GDUSA starts each year by choosing a group of people to watch who embody the spirit of the creative community. Individuals we have come to know and respect for a combination of talent, leadership, success, newsworthiness and community service. In a field so deep in talent and broad in numbers, this is clearly a subjective process. Still, for five decades, it has seemed to work out pretty well: the roster of past participants is star-studded, to say the least. The 2017 group adds to the glow.

Show Review: Amon Tobin @ The Greek Theatre
...Apart from the mind-fucking 3-D aspect, Tobin’s visual spectacle is made so by its mastery of textures. Brought to life by V Squared Labs and Leviathan, this ambitious project required a lot of thinking outside of the box (see what I did there?). Gone are the seizure-inducing flashes of LED panels and the flurry of fireworks that have become staples in the electronic scene. In their stead are the subtle imperfections of wood on a stack of crates, the grinding gears of a machine pumping in time to the frenetic soundtrack, and the illusion of delicately balanced cubes tumbling downward only to reassemble before our eyes. It’s truly engrossing in its own unique, quirky way...

Amon Tobin, ISAM Live, Melbourne 2012 - Live review, photos
It's difficult to tell you how this "concert" was. At least in a traditional breakdown format. If you've seen any footage of Brazilian producer Amon Tobin's astonishing stage show for ISAM Live then you get the gist -- a partnership with V Squared Labs and Leviathan have birthed an arrangement of cubes lays patchwork atop each other on stage; a module larger than most positioned somewhere near its centre. When the lights go down the movie-like projection starts, for it is more like a movie than a "gig" in the traditional sense...

Vivid Sydney Daily Report #9: Amon Tobin's ISAM, GoodGod Danceteria!
“...That was epic,” says one guy to his friends on the way out. I wish I could be as emphatically awed. There is, however, so much to admire about Tobin’s vision, and the work of production teams V Squared Labs and Leviathan to help realise it. It’ll be fascinating to see where he takes it next. And let’s not forget the unsung heroes of the night: those ushers with the earplugs...
The Sydney Morning Herald, June 1, 2012
Project eclectic electric
...But none of it really tells you the how and what, let alone why, of a project that arose when Tobin found that with ISAM he was writing something ''that couldn't really be performed with musicians because it wasn't made with musicians but also couldn't be DJ-ed because it wasn't dance music''. He had to find a way of ''guiding people through'', enlisting design specialists V Squared Labs and Leviathan...

Electro trailblazer thinks inside the box
...There is no way of describing it adequately, Amon Tobin knows that. It's electronic but it's not dance music; it's loud and dynamic but it's not a rock show; it's a visual and technological jigsaw but it's not an intellectual exercise. And it's going to be performed in the most formal, storied room in the city rather than a warehouse or open field...

...On 1 June 2011, Amon Tobin presented ISAM Live at Canada’s Mutek festival: an out-of-leftfield stage production on a spectacular scale. The matrix of shifting 3D cubes, with Tobin perched in the centre, was developed alongside production teams V Squared Labs and Leviathan. What made ISAM Live particularly astounding was how unexpected it was: an ostensibly ‘experimental’ artist pulling off a big-budget spectacle. We should count ourselves lucky they took the leap. Next month, the whole audio-visual experience is coming to Australia for Vivid Sydney and a standalone show in Melbourne...

"...Matt is a long-time colleague and collaborator of mine, and last year, when we wanted to create a real-time VJ tool to support a custom 360 visual performance system for Heineken's Inspire activations at live events, I got him involved," said Virkhaus.

"...To address everyone's concerns about how the content would look in the finished spots, a detailed pre-vis and animatic we created with the agency was extremely important," Webb said, clarifying that Autodesk Maya was Leviathan's main tool for creating its custom models and animation. "The Museum's collection is very specific and unique, so most of the details had to be created by hand, using references from the actual exhibits. We assembled a fairly large modeling and surfacing team to tackle each detail of every model. The waves, rain and tornado were major challenges, and we assigned separate simulation teams for each piece. Our toolset spans most applications, so it was all pretty seamless..."

"We knew it would be a daunting task to create so much in CG, but we were confident it would pay off. As we progressed, we were able to share some computer models with the agency’s print design partners at Giannini Creative, which helped in a lot of ways and kept the design consistent across every medium..."
