Under Scan | Lozano - Hemmer


[ English ]
Mexican electronic artist Rafael Lozano - Hemmer has some interesting Projects on his site. One of the ones that caught my eye was UNDER SCAN, a large-scale public art project commissioned by the East Midlands Development Agency in England. Thousands of "video-portraits" taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham will be projected onto the ground of the main squares and pedestrian thoroughfares of these cities. At first, the portraits will not be visible because the space will be flooded by white light coming from the world’s most powerful projector. As people walk around the area, their shadow will be cast on the floor, revealing the video-portraits. The short video sequences begin with the subjects in a still position turned away from the camera. As they appear within pedestrians' shadows, their bodies move and their heads turn to look straight at the pedestrian, potentially giving rise to an interesting range of interactions. When a shadow moves away from a portrait, the portrait likewise reacts by losing interest and looking away.

El artista Mejicano, Rafael Lozano - Hemmer tiene una variedad de projectos interesantes en su website . Ono de los que me llamo la atencion fue UNDER SCAN, un proyecto de arte público encargado por el East Midlands Development Agency en Inglaterra. Miles de "video-retratos" tomados en Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton y Nottingham serán proyectados en el piso de las plazas y calles peatonales de esas ciudades. Inicialmente los retratos no se podrán ver ya que estarán borrados por la intensa luz proveniente del proyector más potente del mundo. Según camine la gente, su sombra será proyectada en el piso "descubriendo" los retratos. Las secuencias de video comienzan con los sujetos viendo hacia un lado. Según aparecen dentro de las sombras de los transeuntes, los retratos se mueven y voltean hacia ellos directamente. Cuando una sombra se retira de un retrato automáticamente el retrato se gira para mirar a otro sitio.

Neighbourhood opening party




[ English ]
So here are some photos of the event, it was great, I still can't believe the ammount of people that showed up, on a wednesday night. It was the first time I had to Vj with lights on, that was a bit weird, but it didn't bother me too much.

I also was commissioned to develop a few branding animations for the clothing store and some of the sponsors of the event, so I uploaded one I did for the store wich I thought it had a good concept, basically the store is located near an iconic sign in the University Heights area, so the animation basically shows the location of the store from that sign, colors, easthetics and style of animation follow the identity of the store.

[ Castellano ]
Aca algunas fotos del evento pasado, estuvo muy bueno, no puedo creer la cantidad de gente que habia por ser un miercoles. Es la primera vez que me toca hacer visuales con las luces prendidas, fue un poco raro pero no me molesto mucho.

El local me habia encargado algunas animaciones con el proposito de reforzar el branding del evento, local y algunos de los sponsors, aqui posteo una que me parecio tubo buen concepto mas alla de la ejecucion, basicamente el local esta ubicado muy cerca de un cartel iconico en el barrio de University Heights, asi que la animacion muestra la ubicacion del local con respecto a ese cartel, colores y estetica estan basados en el logo del local.

Video Objects | Whitevoid

[ English ]
Video Objects" is a custom software to perspectively distort video content in realtime. The pre-distorted videos are projected from one video projector onto multiple real world threedimensional objects. The resulting projected imagery seems to be sticking on the surfaces of the objects. The source videos can be adjusted to the respective objects on the spot with a projected helper grid or an imported 3D model of the real world setup. Once the system is aligned the projected videos can be exchanged in realtime by drag and drop in a VJ-like manner.

Check other interesting projects by Whitevoid on their site.

Video Objects es un software que distorciona video en perspectiva en tiempo real. Los videos pre=distorcionados son proyectados desde un unico proyector en varios objetos tridimensionales reales. La proyeccion pareciera pegarse en las superficies de estos objetos. Y lo mas importante, los videos fuente pueden ser ajustados a los respectivos objetos en el lugar, con una guia proyectada sobre este, o importada de un modelo 3d del objeto a proyectar.
