City Life – The Electric Canvas

Leave a Comment Posted by on January 24, 2013

Using the ornate architecture of Customs House as a skeleton, an elaborate city within a city is created. As the morning sun rises, the buildings, streets, overpasses and infrastructure emerge out of Customs House, like an organism coming to life. Hundreds of people, cars, buses and trains traverse the city. Mercurial weather patterns, traffic lights flashing, horns honking, the everyday hustle and bustle.

Delving deeper into the heart of this amazing organism, the city’s inhabitants go about their daily lives. Connected and disconnected. Individual and collective. Mundane routine gives way to magic, and the city offers up unexpected and delightful surprises.  Day meets night, the shadows lengthen and so the pulse, colour and mood of the city changes as it winds down.

Seikei Gakuen – Projection Mapping

Leave a Comment Posted by on August 12, 2012

This excellent example of projection mapping is from November 2011 and celebrates the 100th anniversary of Seikei Gakuen (Seikei University) in Kichijoji, Japan (near tokyo). The backdrop is one of the campus buildings (though i don’t know which building it is), and is 20 by 70 meters.

Living Room (Projection Mapping) – Mr.Beam

1 Comment Posted by on July 16, 2012

As a in house test case, we created a unique physical 3D video mapping experience by turing a white living room into a spacious 360° projection area. This technique allowed us to take control of all colors, patterns and textures of the furniture, wallpapers and carpet. All done with 2 projectors. via

ISAM: Live – Amon Tobin

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 15, 2012

To continue with the theme of Projection Mapping this weekend we have a couple videos. (think of it as combining your regular sunday post with an unnamed rogue video post)

I came across Amon Tobin some time back while listening to the likes of Nero and Alien Project and now have a few of his albums. (one of them in my car cd-changer at the moment) When I came across these films while learning more about projection mapping I was blown away.

Along with the release of his ISAM album (Invented Sounds Applied to Music) came an incredible stage show that is as intricate, tight, and heavy as the music itself.

The first video is Mr Tobin’s show at Moogfest 2011 and the second is a short documentary about what goes into the ISAM: Live show.

Projection Mapping with deadmau5

Leave a Comment Posted by on July 14, 2012

I recently watched a deadmau5 concert. On Netflix, of course – as much as I’d like to attend a live show, my age and hair would make me stand out like a violin at a guitar festival. Besides, standing in the middle of a huge, jostling, crowd just isn’t a good time to me.

Anyways, what was notable, besides the most excellent tuneage, was the light show, or rather, the ‘projection mapping’. Basically, the idea is projecting video onto 3D objects such as buildings or stage sets.

While this is actually kind of an advertisement for a cellular phone, it’s an incredible, large scale, example of projection mapping.

Each of the 120 metre high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 powerful projectors, stationed 300 metres away on the other side of the river, beamed 3D images onto the structure.
