Projection Mapping

For digital artist Jennifer Greb, immersive artwork means more than just compelling imagery or a good story. Through combining computational methods with art and media production, she has created visual worlds that invite audiences inside. Sometimes these worlds are physical spaces where viewers are literally surrounded with art, while others are more metaphorical, like museum collections and archives that aren’t otherwise accessible. Jennifer makes these spaces interactive, immersive, and beautiful.

Circus Family, an audiovisual design studio in Amsterdam, used Vuo to create two projects that enchanted their audiences. These are two of several projects where Circus Family used Vuo. In The Rain Project, raindrops created a display of images, light, and sound in a natural forest, and in the Hema Sintersizer, children created songs with a giant music-making machine during the Dutch children’s celebration, Sinterklaas. To learn more, about I interviewed Circus Family’s Cas Dekker.

Rallentando is an interactive installation that uses Vuo to invoke a multi-sensory virtual forest. Using a combination of images, sounds, and interactive performance, “the audience experiences a gradual slackening of tempo, leaving behind the distractions of contemporary urban life.”

Rallentando was created by Gwenyth Dobie, with William Mackwood (@wmackwood) leading the technical integration. Gwenyth and William, co-artistic directors of Out of the Box Productions, recently installed Rallentando at Hub14 in Toronto.
