“Documentation of my video projections at InLight Richmond 2009. Messages submitted by members of the public are translated into American Sign Language and then mapped to the architecture of the building.”
Reminds me of TXTHealing but in a more visual way.

Mutek_10 - international festival of digital creativity and music at Montreal, Canada features a series of urban projections.
“MUTEK_10 inaugurates EXTRA_MUROS, a series of outdoor projects using urban Montreal as a canvas for play and projection
With this endeavor, MUTEK reaffirms its role as trampoline to propel visionary artists into the streets of the city and into the realm of new and uninitiated audiences, many of whom will see Montreal in a new light as a result.
This first tier of local and international talent invites you to see the city as a platform punctuated by their monumental creativity. Their work will be on display throughout the festival, from Montreal’s Old Port all the way up the Saint Laurent Boulevard’s annual sidewalk sale. “
Installations run from Wednesday May 27 to Sunday May 31 - from dusk to 3 am”
Featured Artists are: AntiVJ, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Dominique T Skoltz and Amuse
So if you´re from canada or anywhere near, or you have the money to go there you definitely should! I would love to!
Got a mail today from Deborah Kelly who did cloud projections with a large scale projector and the slogan “Beware of the GOD” back in 2006. She redid these projections at the Singapore Biennale 2008.
Back then the New York Times wrote: ”
SINGAPORE — Like the giant Batman sign projected into the night skies of Gotham City, the text “Beware of the God” suddenly appeared in the Singaporean sky mid-September. The 30-minute projection, repeated over several nights, was the work of Deborah Kelly, part of the opening week of the Singapore Biennale 2008.
While the Australian artist said the work had a serious subtext, warning of the confluences of religion and politics, she added that it also aimed to “entirely disarm the audience so you don’t go ‘Oh more art’; you go, ‘What is that? It’s a miracle!”

Got a mail to a fantastic project going on in New York. I just post the mail here :
Multimedia performers Sweatshoppe have been wheat pasting buildings
with moving images all over New York. Mapping video projections to
LED-lit paint rollers, Sweatshoppe lay their projections on a surface,
paint-stroke by paint stroke. They call new digital performance style
“Video Painting” and have demonstrated the end result here:
SWEATSHOPPE, 4spots, the landing extras from SWEATSHOPPE on Vimeo.
How it works: The software controlling the video was written in Max.
The paint roller does not use any sort of paint, it simply contains
green LEDs. The software tracks the color green and outputs the x y
position which are sent to drawing commands and the strokes are
textured with video.
Sweatshoppe is video artists Bruno Levy and Blake Shaw. They plan on
eventually releasing the software, but only after it is much more
refined, buffed up with features and is user-friendly.

It´s always worth checking woostercollective for street art related projects and news. The photo you see below was taken by Dani Bevervanso showing the latest large scale projection by “Tagtool”.

Explanation taken from their website:
“The Tagtool is a performative visual instrument used on stage and on the street. It serves as a VJ tool, a creative video game, or an intuitive way of creating animation.
The system is operated collaboratively by an artist drawing the pictures and an animator adding movement to the artwork with a gamepad. The design achieves virtually unlimited artistic complexity with a simple set of controls, which can be mastered even by children.”
You should definitely check their website for more pictures, projects and informations about the Tagtool.
