What is videomapping?
Video mapping is a technique that consists of projecting video onto irregular objects or surfaces, such as large structures, building facades and statues. Through the use of specialized software, objects of two or three dimensions are formed virtually, from this information the software interacts with a projector to adapt any image to the surface of the chosen object. With this technique, artists can create extra dimensions, optical illusions and notions of movement in static objects. Audiovisual narratives are usually created by combining or triggering video with audio.
How to participate in the workshop?
If you are interested in learning more about this technique and creating your own videoperformances for mapped projections, do not miss the opportunity to participate in the workshop O Eu Digital – Corpos Digitais, which will take place this Saturday, July 22nd, from 2 pm to 6 pm, at Instituto Ling (Rua João Caetano, 440 – Três Figueiras – Porto Alegre/RS). The workshop will be given by the Brazilian dancer and choreographer based in Germany Magali Sander Fett and by the German architect and video producer Till Botterweck, who arrive in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul especially for this activity.
The workshop will feature creation and practice exercises, which use the principles of time, space and body awareness, in addition to an introduction to the green screen filming technique, also known as green screen or chroma key. Exploring ways of filming and projecting bodies in space, and integrating programs and effects, the participants will together create choreographic and/or scenic material to be used in both the real and digital worlds.
The program is aimed at students and professionals in the areas of performing and visual arts, audiovisual, design and new media, but anyone interested can register. To participate, no previous knowledge or experience is necessary – just take a smartphone to be used as a camera during the activity. Enrollments cost BRL 256 for the first batch, BRL 320 for the second batch and can be done on the website www.institutoling.org.br or at the reception of the cultural center.
