An intensive
5-day artistic residency (6 hours per day), entirely dedicated to
Video Mapping techniques — from the initial concept to the final production — led by
VJ Eletroiman from
Darklight Studio.
The residency guides participants through every stage of the video mapping process: technical study, optical principles, projector setup, lux calculation, blueprints, 2D and 3D modeling, and the integration of music and sound effects.
During the workshop, participants will learn how to measure and analyze a target surface, build detailed 2D and 3D models, and create audio and video content to be “mapped” onto architecture. By controlling light, color, and the volume of the surface, video mapping alters spatial perception, transforming both the nature of a space and the way it is experienced.
A final project will be created and presented to the public during the closing evenings of the program.What you will learn - Fundamentals of video mapping and its creative applications
- How to conduct technical inspections, measurements, and photography
- How to assess site-specific technical requirements and draft a technical rider
- 2D and 3D modeling for architectural mapping
- Workflow for creating visual and sound content
- Integration of mapping software with real surfaces
- On-site setup, fine-tuning, and live performance
Who it’s forDesigned for
VJs, visual artists, designers, and multimedia performers who want hands-on skills in video mapping for live performances, installations, or large-scale events. No advanced knowledge required, though familiarity with visual software is recommended.
