[Apr 20/21] Projection Mapping 1.0 For Beginners

April 20, 2013 PastClasses

Projection mapping is an amazing technique for manipulating video to create illusions of deconstruction and redefinition of physical shapes by moving away from traditional flat projection surfaces.

This is the second installment of our 2 day workshop, that serves as a comprehensive introduction to methods for creating projection mapping. The tools used in the workshop are MadMapper and Modul8. The students will get fully-functional 30-day trial versions of the software to create a collaborative projection mapping installation for the end of class.

This workshop is intended for the students who want to learn how to develop projection mapping projects for future events, art installations, and performances.

CHiKA

CHiKA is an interactive visual artist with the international VJ background and experimental music scene and an educator. She creates a minimalist geometric visual narrative in sync with the sounds of live music performance in addition to interactive projection mapping installations that explore the relationship between visual, light, sound and public audience. She is a creator of a 3 day projection mapping workshop marathon, Mappathon, that teaches mapping projection technique to create site specific installations. She was also a resident researcher at ITP, New York University and an IAC Teaching and Research Fellow for Vimeo.

Her work has been showed at the American Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Art and Design, the Hammer Museum, San Francisco Art Institute, Centre d’Art Contemporain Geneva, Museo Regional de Guadalajara, Matadero Madrid, Theatre Maisonneuve, Biennial in Venezuela, eBay, New York University, Cooper Union, The School of Visual Arts, The University of Wisconsin-Madison, Eyebeam, Harvestworks, Millennium, Mapping Festival, Dumbo Arts Festival, MOD Festival, Blip Festival New York, Blip Festival Tokyo, Nuit Blanche, Mutek, Metropolitan Pavilion, Music Hall of Williamsburg, The Gramercy Theatre, S.O.B.’s, and among other places.

Video lectures will be released once a week, to be watched on the students own time. Students are not required to be available for any particular time, as long as they are able to keep up with the new material each week. The course will cover various methods for modulating digital video signals in real-time, including mixing, masking, cutting and rearranging, color manipulation using filters, tints, and pixel modulators, creative playback interfaces, triggers and control signals. The course will also cover additional relevant topics, including MIDI and OSC communication, audioreactivity, and interactivity via peripherals and control interfaces. brcosa The course is designed for those who wish to create live visual programs with a high degree of control, customization, and originality, for which existing high-level VJing software such as Resolume / VDMX is lacking. It is aimed at both intermediate and complete beginners to programming, and includes supplementary materials for those who have no prior programming experience. We will be programming using the Processing language. At the end of this course, you will have your own performance-ready set of software for producing compelling live visuals! Week 1: Intro to Processing and programming, basic graphics, variables and data, interactivity, animation and frame loops Week 2: Manipulating images, filters and pixel modulators, alpha masks, tint and transparency, cut and paste rearrangement Week 3: Movie playback methods, scratching, blending and mixing, green screens and masks, video filters, audioreactivity Week 4: Control via user interfaces, parameters and triggers, input devices, and communication via OSC and MIDI, shaders. ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Gene Kogan is an artist and programmer who writes free software for the performing arts. His work focuses on the application of emerging technologies as tools for creative expression and inquiry across a variety of contexts, including live music, theatre, and dance.
