Urbanscreen: Facade Projection and Jump

“On one hand urbanscreen is a group of free media artists and architects, dealing with research and development of experimental media installations with the aim to stage urban areas. On the other hand urbanscreen acts as a professional agency which translates the creative potential of this current art form onto the dialogue between commerce and art.” – Urbanscreen on Vimeo

For some reason this Facade Projection project by Urbanscreen had me hooked, I found this video a couple days ago and it kinda left me in a daze, my eyes were locked on and I could not turn away.

You should check out their videos and see what you think. But I was also intrigued by another video they posted several months back called ‘Jump’. It projects a video of a number of people/athletes climbing and scaling the building, a video process called Mapping Video Projection, if you do not know what this process entails, have some fun viewing this video and learning a thing or two.

“The project “Jump” is focusing on mapped video projection with a strict reference to architectural structure. The house front has been rebuilt in a studio setting with a proportion of 1:1,4. The setup becomes a stage for artists and performers. Later the captured video content is projected on the building.” Urbanscreen on Vimeo

Enjoy!
