Augmented Sculpture Series Pablo Valbuena 2007 spacial Projection, videomapping, sculpture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific for sculpture, ars electronica, projection mapping
This project is focused on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. For this purpose two layers are produced that explore different aspects of the space-time reality. On the one hand the physical layer, which controls the real space and shapes the volumetric base that serves as support for the next level. The second level is a virtual projected layer that allows controlling the transformation and sequentiality of space-time. These ideas come to life in an abstract and geometric envelope, enhanced with synesthetic audio elements and establishing a dialogue with the observer.
Extension Series Pablo Valbuena 2009 spacial Projection, videomapping, indoors architecture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific, vooruit, projection mapping, almost cinema
The result is a game of light and dark. On and off. Present and absent. Virtual and real. A binary system made to measure for the digital age. The age where light does not mean anything without the reference to dark, and ‘on’ does not mean anything without ‘off’. Where the present always refers to the absent. Where you cannot see what is virtual without reality. Together they form one reality: the space, the map, the plan in which we are.
Film Museum - Augmented Sand Sculpture Theo Watson, Emily Gobeille (Film Museum Amsterdam) 2009 spacial projection, videomapping, sand sculpture, animation, sound, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear 2 minute animation, space-specific, projection mapping, sculpture, architecture
For the groundbreaking of the new Film Museum site in Amsterdam Overhoek I was asked by Wieden + Kennedy to develop an augmented projection to dynamically unveil a five meter long sand sculpture of the future building. Working with Emily Gobeille we developed a two minute animation that unveiled the building in a series of stages that highlighted both the architectural elements of the building as well as giving a preview of what people would experience inside.
Generative Graffiti Theo Watson (Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab) 2006 spacial projection, lit window recognition, Maritime Hotel, generative abstract animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-lineair animation reacts to the lit windows in the hotel, space- specific, outdoors, hotel, generative, graffiti, projection, architecture
In collaboration with Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab. A particle based drawing system that spawns particles from the lit up windows of the Maritime Hotel. The particles are attracted to one another but will repel away from the non-lit windows.
Laser Tag Theo Watson (Eyebeam's Graffiti Research Lab) 2007 spacial projection, laser, hand-drawn graphic, generative abstract graphics, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-linear graphics generated by the public, anywhere, quick setup, laser, outdoors, generative, graffiti, projection, architecture
During a cold week in February, armed with several high power lasers, two hardcore projectors and a camper van, the Graffiti Research Lab and I went about turning the back of a large office building in Rotterdam into a massive laser-tagable space. Writers from all over Europe came down to have a go at writing their tags 140 feet high. Kids, old people and random members of the public all enjoyed being able to write messages on a building which could be seen across the whole city.
Physics Distorter Jan van Nuenen spacial projection, videomapping, globe, NIMK building, abstract generative animation, multi/single user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, user can influence projection with globe interface, non-linear graphics influenced by the public, anywhere, long setup, arduinio, processing, projection mapping, architecture
Real-time computer simulation of falling and colliding objects projected onto a building. The audience can control the direction of the gravity and some of the properties of the objects with a wireless globe. Custom hard and software made with processing and arduino.
The Amazing Cinemagician Helen Papagiannis 2009 spacial projection, graphic image recognition, paying cards, animation on fogscreen, multi-user, 360 large field of view, natural eye movement, non-linear narrative triggered by user, anywhere indoors, Georges Méliès, fog, spacial
The project “The Amazing Cinemagician” is based on a card-trick, using physical playing cards as an interface to interact with the FogScreen. RFID tags are hidden within each physical playing card. (Part of the magic and illusion of this project was to disguise the RFID tag as a normal object, out of the viewer’s sight.) Each of these tags corresponds to a short film clip by Méliès, which is projected on to the FogScreen once a selected card is placed atop the RFID tag reader.
The Hague City Hall Pablo Valbuena 2008 spacial Projection, videomapping, City Hall, animation, multi-user, 180 large field of view, natural eye movement, linear narrative, space-specific, today's art, projection mapping, architectural space
In the past Pablo Valbuena has worked for several international videogame and film studios investigating spatial concepts applied to virtual environments and digital architecture as a concept designer. This project focuses on the temporary quality of space, investigating space-time not only as a three dimensional environment, but as space in transformation. By using geometric forms and light, Valbuena alters multiple dimensions of space-time, creating an astounding visual experience.
