Mappathon is a 3-day projection mapping marathon workshop, followed by an art installation exhibited at REVERSE and open to the public. Learn the latest projection mapping techniques and technologies and then collaborate to create a final advanced site-specific project.

Participants will learn the latest technology for mapping video projections on physical surfaces, incorporating multiple surfaces and shapes and moving away from the traditional confines of the screen to sculptures and building facades. The goal of the workshop is to create several projection mapping installations with or without interactivity, where the students create content for complex surfaces through collaboration. At the end of the workshop, participants will showcase their work to the public at REVERSE.

SOFTWARE: ONLY FOR MAC USER

The participants will be given a fully functional, 30 day time limited, version of MadMapper & Modul8. This should be installed and activated prior to the beginning of the workshop and is eligible to student discount for future purchase.

MadMapper has greatly simplified the process of working with this technique of video projection. Used in conjunction with video software like Modul8, Quartz Composer, Processing, or Max/MSP/Jitter; MadMapper enables designers and artists to realize their ideas without getting bogged down in technical details.

*Mappathon will not go over function of each software. The primary tool taught in the workshop is the software package MadMapper and Modul8.
