Live drawing that grows
I'm Yukuka (Vadim Kampel), a projection mapping artist. I map live-drawn animation onto facades, trees and stages — every show is drawn on the spot, no two are the same. Now a real-time AI grows every line into plants and flowers while the audience watches.
Work
Projects since 2020 — from live projector drawing at parties to an AI-grown facade.
Grooving Facade
Live iPad drawing bloomed into plants by real-time AI, mapped on the Plaza facade in Rose-Hill.
La Isla Festival
Two editions: a mansion facade at Domaine de Labourdonnais, then masks in the tree crowns.
New Year without fireworks
Live-drawn 'fireworks' for Attitude Hotels — a format for a whole hotel chain.
Citadel
Tunnels, walls and portraits drawn live at the Gran Konser, La Citadelle, Port Louis.
KFC Town
The Hot Wings Challenge wall: people dance, I draw around them in real time.

About
I'm Vadim Kampel — Yukuka. I'm an artist based in Mauritius who draws live on projections: facades, fortress walls, tree crowns, stages and dance floors.
It started in 2020 with a projector at a Halloween party. Since then I've drawn for festivals, hotels, brands and concerts — always live, always improvised, never the same show twice. Before projection I painted murals around the island.
In 2026, in collaboration with Maxime Touroute, I premiered Grooving Facade on the Plaza building in Rose-Hill — live drawing grown into plants by real-time AI.
