Projecting Light & Images: A Creative WorkshopMaster ClassIn-Person
Discover the art and technology behind “projection mapping,” the technical term for an art form that uses projectors to cast images, videos, optical illusions, and light onto buildings, walls, statues, and other surfaces. Getting spectacular results doesn’t have to be complicated. Participants will learn how to create mesmerizing projections using the software MadMapper and a simple projector to animate a variety of surfaces, including walls, origami, and boxes.
“Projection mapping” is an ever-evolving technique that combines art and technology to create immersive experiences for viewers, and is experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to the rise of large-scale pop-up installations and museums worldwide, such as ARTECHOUSE, SuperReal, Meow Wolf, and teamLab.
