night lights from thesystemis on Vimeo. Who says “art” can’t also involve the words “fun” and “play”? We’ve been watching a lot of outdoor projection, projection mapping, and visuals on architecture. The twist in “Night Lights” is that onlookers are active participants, making the side of a building into an interactive visual playground. The best […]

Where better in the world to introduce elegant moving screens than a country that made narrative on flat surfaces come alive, from painted screens to manga? Magician, visualist, and technologist Marco Tempest sends this brilliant video documentation of the work he’s been doing with what he calls “Magic Projection.” The technique is simple – and […]

GVJ08 from XPLOITEC on Vimeo. With all the coverage of guerrilla projection and projection mapping outdoors, last week I asked the CDM community what safety and legal considerations came into play with this work. It’s well worth reading through the full comment thread: Can Mobile Projection Get You in Trouble? How Do You Plan? Some […]

I’m not exactly sure this is something I would choose to do with a dog, but video artist Fernando Llanos says the animal is […]

555 KUBIK | facade projection | from urbanscreen on Vimeo. Perhaps it means nothing for the practical art of architecture, but clever projection on buildings is making our Neo-Baroque (or perhaps Neo-Roccoco) age even more in touch with illusion and manipulations of scale. This brilliant pre-rendered work adds to the work we’ve been following here […]

Experimenting in the projection lab; photo: hc gilje. videoprojectiontools, the powerful and intuitive Max/MSP/Jitter-developed Mac and Windows tools for projection mapping, just got a nice update. The new version has OpenSoundControl (OSC) support – and yes, despite the “Sound” in the acronym, it’s really more like Open … Control. Max is not required to use […]

Architectural Visual Design aka Apparati Effimeri apparently have liked our ongoing projection mapping stories, so they send along their showreel. The music, appropriately enough, is Apparat. Visual performers: Federico Bigi Roberto Fazio Marco Grassivaro http://www.apparatieffimeri.com/ The documentation is a bit rough (boy, do I know that challenge), but I absolutely love their visual style.
