Week 12 [13-19.06.2016] Video Mapping




source: https://3dvideomapping.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/dsc_7988.jpg

Certainly most of you have heard something of video mapping. It’s a new form of video art which is mostly based on the projection mostly on static objects. Very often designers create mappings on buildings or sculptures. Very important tool in video mapping is a projector. Projection must be bright enough to light up a very large object (for example a building). At big and really spatial video mappings there are is used even several projectors.

A crucial element of good mapping is its synchronization with sound. Good projects bring together a pretty big group of people from musicians who carefully synchronize their work with programmers, animators, and 3D graphics. This project combines the knowledge of graphic programs 2D, 3D, video editing and animation and visual programming. Mappings began to reign at concerts and have their own festivals (like festival in Geneva - http://2016.mappingfestival.com or Hong Kong - http://illumin.asia). 

Some video mappings from the world:




We see in this documentation that video mappings are used as visualization of a classical music concert :)


and video mapping from Poland, Łódź:


Do you like video mappings?

Do you know some cool examples of this technique?

Comments

I like video mapping a lot, I don’t know if I am right but I like even when Palace of Culture and Science have different color everyday or something is projected. Also examples shown by you looks interesting. I don’t know any specific examples but I also remember when during christmas there were projections at the Old Town. Attending such festival like the one in Hong Kong would be amazing for sure.

It is interesting and look very good. This is great for graphic designers to show their’s work. I like especially when there are projected things like that building is crashed or some figures are shown. I think that 3D mapping are also very cool I have no idea how to do that but it looks very good for newbies. I don’t know any real examples, because everything I saw was in the internet, maybe it should be more often displayed in Warsaw.

We shouldn't confuse simple projection with video mapping.
I mean, that video mapping is the illusion of motion some object or building and it's more complicated :)

If you want to watch video mapping live I really recommend you go to some festival :)

I know and I like videomapping. It is great technology, which give huge possibilities for us, but it has many restrictions as well. I think about right contrast colors, right scale elements, management of the architecture space( when videomapping includes architecture it is more interesting.)
In my opinion many videomapping projections are not suitable to architecture. In my opinion this technology is very modern, so no everyone building should be object of the mapping.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlGeboQHIyg in this video about 4:20. It is completely inconsistent with architecture of this building and its character. Do you know what I mean?
What do you think about it?

I feel like the video mapping subject shows up every term ;)

I have a couple of links I can share:

A music video using the video mapping to create the surrounding of the singer.

The project "Box" which is a projection-mapping on moving objects. It looks really cool and the "making of" is also very interesting.

Ink Mapping is a video mapping projection on tattoos and people. If you look there actually are a lot of projection videos on people. It looks really fun.
I've seen some vide mappings live and they looked quite cool. I can't tell you much more about them, but they certainly can impress even people that don't know much about visual arts.

I enjoy videomappings, although I'm not too fond of making them; my spacial imagination is too weak ;)

Anyways, I went to see the videomapping on the facade of the Wilanów Palace once. It was an animated story, targeted especially at kids, but I can't say I was very impressed. One of the things that was lacking was proper sound system; the area is fairly large and, while you could hear the narration, you couldn't hear any other sounds, which made the video seem long and rather uninteresting. So, that's something to work on.

Still, videomappings are a great new step for the arts. They combine many different elements, which all contribute to the final effect. You can see from the example above that each of them is really important. I especially enjoy videomappings projected onto human bodies. They're amazing because buildings are usually fairly simple and geometrical in form, while a body is full of curves and shadows. It's much harder to operate on such a "canvas". Such videomappings reimagine the human body, show us what might actually be possible in the future: moving tattoos, metal body parts etc etc. It's very exciting to see such experiments live, not only in videos or drawings.

Thank you for your comment ;)
Unknown said…
I don't know, maybe you have right but when I watched it live this video mapping looked pretty good :) As we see the good documentation is very important thing ;)
Unknown said…
previously I knew only "Ink Mapping", so thank you for the rest of the examples, they are really awesome and information from "making of" will be useful for me :)
It looks pretty amazing and makes a huge impression on me, especially when you realized how much work it nedeed. I saw it only in the internet, but I really want to go on festival.
Unknown said…
Video mappings, if done correctly, are absolutely awesome. I remember seeing one somewhere in the city, in the end it turned out to be a kind of ad encouraging to visit Vienna but it looked cool nevertheless :) I don't know much about creating video mappings, I can only imagine it's hard work, but definitely it's one of those artistic things I really enjoy.
Unknown said…
I think Video Mappings allows ads creators achieve new ways to attract potential clients. Also it could be treated as form ow modern art. I have seen some amazing performances, where video mapping alltogether with synchronous work of fountain has been used to create incredible show.
Unknown said…
I saw a lot of video mapping projects but I have never heard before about the complexity of this technology. Video mappings which you shown are awesome. It's very developmental technology and if I've got the bigger knowledge about it I'd like to try make something like this.
Unknown said…
After watching videos included in your presentation I can say that video mapping is pretty interesting "art". But I can imagine that developing that kind of performance is really time-consuming.
Unknown said…
Do you like video mappings?

Its ok but its not like super amazing for me.

Do you know some cool examples of this technique?

I saw some videos about it before but i never really got into it so I dont have any cool examples except those you already provided.
Unknown said…
Video mapping is an interesting form of art but also specific.

I saw some projects of this technology projections, but I can't really give an example now.
Unknown said…
Videomapping for me is a new way of art. I am not a big specialist in the terms of art, but for me it is at least something that could catch an eye and finally introduce new vision on technologies to the public. Even though the final result for me is not very interesting, I am more impressed with the amount of people involved in the project. It is just amazing how people could coordinate to create something whole.
Unknown said…
I have seen some interesting events featuring video-mapping but most of those I have seen were rather boring. In my opinion it's very hard to grasp a good topic to perform on with video-mapping. It's also very fluid and developing, so perhaps in nearest future we could see some more good works.

Mapping is already known for a long time (3d mapping had its origins already in 1969) and is very popular form of visualization. It is used by many cultural institutions and event organizations. The most common examples are in Warsaw: Wilanow Palace, Park fountains.
The world's opera in Sydney attach links from the web:

1. Do you like video mappings?

Yeah it is really cool to watch!

Do you know some cool examples of this technique?

YES, TETRIS ON THE BUILDING :D
Unknown said…
Video Mapping looks really awe inspiring form of art. It combines novelty with beauty of architecture. It' also very utilitarian. Video Mapping could diversify cultural and music events. I really liked the videos you showed in your presentation

Week 11 [03-09.06.2019] The problem with ecological cars emission in UK

The problem with ecological cars emission in UK Since the adoption of the European Emission Allowance Directive in the European Parliament, all car makers have tried to submit. Since 1992, the Euro I standard has been in force, which limited the emission of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere. The Euro VI standard currently applies, which limits the series of exhaust gases. These include: hydrocarbons, nitrogen and carbon oxides, and dust.   The most significant change was brought by the Euro IV standard. For the first time it introduced the limitation of nitrogen oxides, which are responsible for the harmful compounds of smog.   What is smog?   Smog consists of sulfur oxides, nitrogen and carbon. In addition, solid substances such as suspended dust (PM). Dust suspend in atmospheric aerosols may be in liquid and solid form. These can be particles of sea salt, clouds from the Sahara and artificial compounds made by people. These compounds often come fr

Week 12 (12.01-18.01.15) Are you an early bird or a night owl ?

Owls are nocturnal creatures. They’re wide awake at night and they sleep during the day. If this sounds like bliss to you, then, like about 20 percent of the population who find themselves most active at around 9 pm, you may fall into the same category as our feathered friend. Night owls often have difficulty waking up in the morning, and like to be up late at night.  Studies of animal behaviour indicate that being a night owl may actually be built into some people’s genes. This would explain why those late-to-bed, late-to-rise people find it so difficult to change their behaviour. The trouble for night owls is that they just have to be at places such as work and school far too early. This is when the alarm clock becomes the night owl’s most important survival tool. Experts say that one way for a night owl to beat their dependence on their alarm clocks is to sleep with the curtains open. The Theory is that if they do so, the morning sunlight will awaken them gently and naturally.

Week 4 [06-12.11.2017] This is what happens when you reply to spam email.

James Veitch is a British comedian. In today’s Ted Talk James with characteristic for himself a sense of humor shows how he deals with spam emails and why responding to junk messages may be sometimes dangerous. Questions: What do you think about James’s  way of dealing with spam? Why are junk messages legal, even though it sometimes may be a fraud? Dou you have a problem with spam? How do you deal with with it?
