Aarhus by Light.

"Concert Hall Aarhus, one of the largest in Europe, was home for a new interactive media facade that invited guests and passers-by to encounter and partake in a new dimension of the renowned cultural institution.
Aarhus by Light was active in the months of February and March, 2008. The project has now ended, but the idea of using of media facades to enrich Concert Hall Aarhus, as well as the rest of Aarhus, lives on. We maintain this website to offer information in the project.
Aarhus by Light is a groundbreaking experiment in media facades. The project is a collaboration between Concert Hall Aarhus, Martin Professional A/S, CAVI at the University of Aarhus, and Wall of Pixels."

The Missing Stone
by Yoav David & Lior Bentov

"The Missing Stone"* is a story-telling architectural projection performed during the Jerusalem Festival of Lights, June 2011.
As night falls on the market place the Jerusalem building wakes up to life. One man is stranded inside its magic. He is on a search to unravel this mystery, though the bare sight of his own close-up brings him to fear.
What is the missing stone? For us it represents the possibilities of cinematic and theatrical story-telling in the 3d projection mapping world. Exploring them was our aim in this project, and a mile stone for what is yet to come.

"Highly Strung" by Dave Jones.

The performance of Highly Strung featuring the giant 14 meter puppet took place on the night of October 28th 2011 during the Nati Frinj festival. The puppet took ten people to operate and had animation (largely created by the children at the local primary school) projected onto it from projectors mounted both on the ground and in the head of the puppet itself. Music by Stephen Oakes

Filmed by, Jacqui Schulz, Dave Jones, Gareth Llewellin and Cindi Drennan

DELUSION - an interactive light installation

Sonumbra by Loop.pH

Imagine an outsize parasol planted in an African village. By day, it offers shelter from the sun: by night, it sheds light for the local community using the energy collected in solar cells embedded in its canopy. It's clever, it explores a new role for textiles, and it shows concern for the planet. In short: an eco-friendly solution to a pernicious modern problem.

Prototype designed and fabricated by Loop.pH 2008.
First exhibited at MoMA 2008.

Curious Creatures by Jimmy McGilchrist

"Strange encounters are reported from the festival site as inquisitive and beautiful creatures venture in from the surrounding woods."

Curious Creatures is a large scale augmented reality projection project combining high end animation, sound design, gaming, installation art and electronic music. The work has been designed to reach new audiences in the festival environment. In 2011 Curious Creatures was installed at the Lismore Lantern Parade in Lismore NSW and Splendour in the Grass festival in Woodfordia QLD Australia.
