The architectural surrounding can be punctual illuminated. Synchronized with the video and following a choreography, individual lamps dim from time to time. Spacial combinations are created in a 3d-program. Ars electronica graz. Awards - MAB14.

Light Matters: 3D Video Mapping, Making Architecture The Screen for Our Urban Stories

Artists and researchers initiated the movement, developing a new visual language to interpret architecture. Later, marketing adopted this technique for branding, with large-scale projections on skyscrapers; political activists have also initiated dialogues, turning ephemeral light interventions into eye-catching ways to point out and address urban design issues. More on the ways artists and groups develop this visual language for urban storytelling, after the break… 3D video mapping has emerged as a relatively new artistic form.Special software allows users to plan animations and send them to one or several powerful video projectors, covering and transforming the whole facade of a building.

Universal Everything explores potential to turn 13 everyday objects into screens

The studio has released 13 new video artworks in its ongoing Screens of the Future series – shown all together here. The product concepts in each video are based on technologies that are emerging today, like flexible displays, shape-shifting materials and context awareness. "The films highlight humanity's increasingly integrated relationship with technology, serving as product demos of our near future," said Universal Everything. Among the 13 new videos are ones that show a screen-based building facade rippling and columns twisting. A dress adapts its textile pattern to fit with the environments it is in, a beanie doubles as a billboard, and a ring displays a weather report. Screen-covered buoys aid navigation on the water, a flashing bicycle benefits safety, and a light-up plate helps with calorie counting by displaying a food's macronutrients.
