Mappathon©
3 Day Projection Mapping Workshop Marathon with Projection Mapping installation at REVERSE Art Space
Mappathon© teaches students an amazing technique for manipulating video to create illusions of deconstruction and redefinition of physical shapes by moving away from traditional flat projection surfaces. The goal of the workshop is to create projection mapping installations in REVERSE Space, where the participants create content for complex surfaces.
Students will learn the tools to work with these forms, and engage with the process of collaborative design. The primary tool taught in the workshop is the software package MadMapper. 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.
At the end of the workshop, student’s work will be open to the public for a presentation in the gallery space. Students will be given a fully functional, 30 days limited version of MadMapper & Modul8. This should be installed and activated prior to the beginning of the workshop. Light food and beverages will be provided during the workshop.
