“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!

Kelly O´Connor "Latent" at IGVFest 2009, Dublin
There´s a festival for urban projections since 2006. Stops so far were Florence (Italy), Milano (Italy) and Dublin (Ireland) this february.
This is what they say:
“The International Guerrilla Video Festival (IGVFest) is a mobile festival integrating video art with the urban and social environment. The festival removes the technologically complex medium of video out of the institutional situation re-positioning it as open and reflexive in the public domain. The artworks have site-specific thematic relations to the space where they are shown, engaging and reflecting upon the unique architectural, historical, and interpersonal context of each area the festival travels to.” read more on their website.
“Ride along with Ali Momeni and his bicycle fleet of mobile video projectors that transform public spaces into eye-popping sound and light shows. Ali’s group, ‘Art on Wheels’ brings ephemeral art to the masses by modifying vendor carts into portable projection systems that can roll to a site, set up and illuminate city walls at a moment’s notice, then whisk away into the night. Also, see the first projector, the “magic lantern,” that’s still in use today.”…taken from vimeo
See more clips and movies of Ali in action at minneapolisartonwheels.org/. or at his own website here.
A few years ago Dave Lynch was inspired by the work “wildlife” by Karolina Sobecka. He found the Link (you can find it under Artists) here on this side and now he gave me a mail to his project “The horse in motion”.
“In 1872 Leland Stanford hired Edweard Muybridge to answer a question of whether a horse’s feet left the ground whilst running. 12 cameras; 21 inches apart taking a picture at 1000th of a second proved this. - The Horse in Motion - These images lead to the discovery of arguably one of the 1st projection systems. The Zoopraxiscope. 121 years later I brought the horse back to motion…”
If you like to learn more about the analog systems like the Zoopraxiscope Dave mentioned in his description have a look here.
was founded in 2003 by photographer Pier Nicola D`amico and video artist Ricardo Rivera. They do a lot of interesting work using the technologies of projection for commercial projects.
Have a look at their portfolio here. The movieclips “Architecture” and “Hotel Intercontinental” you can find there have been public projections.
Luis Cardoso gave me a mail to a project he did together with the istanbul-based VJ collective Artificialeyes.tv last summer in Lisbon. Have a look at the clip here.
Just one example of the great performances by “Anti VJ” at the Nuit Blanche Bruxelles. Produced by Crea Composite & Anti VJ.
