‘Narrating Structures’ is an intensive workshop where we introduce projection mapping. We will look at diverse techniques for the production of audiovisual projects in architectural spaces and objects and also its application in artistic and creative work
The 2 day workshop is divided in 6 sections.
1- Introduction to mentors and presentation of their work in this field.
2- Study of multiple videomapping projects.
3- Learning multiple techniques and applying them using the different spaces and structures.
4- Presentation by Reuben Sutherland focussing on methods and tips for visual content production.
5- Projection mapping on different surfaces.
6- Creation and presentation of a specific group project
At the end of this workshop you will be able to create various projections simultaneously, shape light into objects and spaces, project manage and connect with local and international communities.
This workshop is for visual artists, graphic designers, architects and anybody interested.
