Projection as a Tool for Expression and Communication in the Public Space

Catalog description

The course will introduce students to projection as a tool of artistic expression and cultural communication. The purpose of the course is to prepare designers and artists for the projection-based Installations, and performances. Students' projects will take form of projections-animations of interior or exterior architectural and sculptural sites as well as inventions and presentations of wearable, portable, or mobile performative projects. The projects may require specific cultural research and a creative use of basic software, hardware, and physical modeling. Students will be encouraged to experiment with video projectors and micro-projectors in connection with available media devices, such as smart phones, speakers, monitors, sensors, or other input and output components, as well as the use of unconventional materials, and forms as projection “screens.
