I been wondering lately how to take my projections to the street in a easy, afordable and enviroment-friendly way, then graffiti research lab (Germany) gave me the exact answer.

by Cecilia on August 9, 2011
Some months ago was the introduction of madmapper. In my opinion its the easiest way to map. They have also released these days a laboratory of experimental softwares “MadLab” to use with the regular application, my fauvorite one was:
MAD_KinectMasker that uses a Kinect to render a mask.

Just got this link on the Urban Projection Facebook Page to a Video Mapping Competition in Paris from 25th to 27th of October 2011.
“Take part in the first International Video Mapping competition, which is open to artists, companies and students from all over the world: the “VLS Video Mapping Trophy“.
To be honest the trailer for the comp looks pretty cheesy so I won´t post it here but i thought it´s a good way to make a little post for the Urban Projection Facebook site, so don´t hesitate and become a fan.
The eyewriter
by Cecilia on July 19, 2011
Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks and the Graffiti Resarch Lab: Tempt1, Evan Roth, Chris Sugrue, Zach Lieberman,Theo Watson and James Powderly have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist, named TEMPTONE. Tempt1 was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed… except for his eyes. This international team is working together to create a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow ALS patients to draw using just their eyes. The long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who are using local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.

Some more mapping here…Great interactive installation with dance performance by Klaus Obermaier. Check out his Youtube profile for more videos on different projects.
“Here and now” was also shown at the Ruhrlights Festival which took place at several places around Dortmund, Germany, in September 2010. Hopefully it will happen again in 2011. In the meantime you could have a look at the many projects and installations from last year here.
Still hungry for more mapping clips? Have a look at the “Video Mapping Blog” for more stunning examples.
