We are in the midst of the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 mission to the moon – something I am old enough to remember following on an antenna-fed black and white TV in a Wisconsin campground. […]
I’d way rather see the real thing, like here, but putting digital fireworks on giant canvases like projection and LED is still an interesting way to celebrate a national holiday. The LA-based design studio StandardVision has produced and published a pair of videos from earlier this month that show July 4th efforts in Los Angeles and Chicago. […]
Projection-mapping seems to be finding its way, more and more, to full-time or extended run indoor projects that are about entertainment and experience. This is F.E.A.S.T – an immersive and interactive dining experience at a San Francisco entertainment, arts and events venue called Onedome. […]
Via Multimedia AV I’m sure there is a large percentage of 20+ and even 30+ people who would look at what happens at the Melody Maker resort hotel in Cancun, and conclude they must go there. Then there are people like me who would conclude they must avoid that place, or anywhere near it, at all costs. […]
Projection mapping from above on to dining tables is a concept that’s been kicking around for a few years, as a novel twist for a restaurant. But it is not exactly something one sees all over. A new company called WeMapping is hoping to make that concept much more widespread – and is wisely, I think, focused on the events sector. […]
The brand new nhow Amsterdam RAI hotel, which is adjacent to the site of next month’s Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) trade show, will be projection-mapped each day during the event. Specially-created content will be projected onto the 25-storey, 650-room nhow Amsterdam RAI from 3 to 8 pm each day throughout ISE week. […]
This is a very nice, inventive projection-mapping job done at Toronto Pearson Airport for the lux vehicle, the Genesis. BIG Digital, a Toronto solutions provider that kinda sorta specializes in temporary digital signage displays, put together a custom exhibit along one of the walkways in from the parking garage to Terminal 1, the one Air Canada flies out of. […]
This is pretty wild – projection mapping on the world’s tallest statue, a 182-meter tall bronze-clad tribute to an Indian statesman. The Statue of Unity in the state of Gujarat honors the late Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, often called the “Iron Man of India” for his role in the nation’s struggle for independence. […]
Here’s a great example of projection mapping being used to tell a story, with the subject of that story doubling as the digital canvas. A specially constructed hangar at Aerospace Bristol in England is home to the last Concorde supersonic passenger jet ever built, and the long, lean jet itself is used as the projection surface for a 12-minute media piece about the Concorde program. […]
What is touted as the world’s largest permanent projection mapping display is now running on the side of Chicago’s theMART, formerly known as the Merchandise Mart. […]
That week-long projection-mapping job on the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA is now live, and judging from photos, looks amazing. The Los Angeles Philharmonic collaborated with digital media artist Refik Anadol (hear a recent podcast I did with him) to come up with a data-driven set of visuals that illuminate metallic skin of the building. […]
Via Curbed LA One of the more recognizable buildings in downtown Los Angeles – the Walt Disney Concert Hall – is getting projection-mapped later this month to celebrate the start of the LA Philharmonic’s new season. […]
A new projection-mapping attraction launches today in New York, a multimedia experience called Dream Ship DestiNY that makes visitors feel like they’ve found their way on to a classic ocean liner, travelling to Manhattan. […]
This is the stunning new MORI Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo, a 100,000 sq. ft. digital space that is entirely projection-mapped and hooked to motion sensors. […]
One of the most interesting companies I saw recently at InfoComm in Las Vegas was Lightform, a San Francisco start-up that is making the once dark art of projection mapping available to just about everyone. It wasn’t that long ago that projection mapping was all about very ambitious, very complicated, very expensive projects that only a handful of companies had the chops to pull off. […]
