ARCHITECTURE PROJECTIONS / DIGITAL MURALS
DIGITAL IMPACT LAB Bremen and INTERFERENCE Tunis host jointly an artists‘ lab to explore architecture projection working with large scale projectors, the free open-source software VVVV, and trainers for artistic and technical support. The artists‘ lab is an opportunity to experiment with your visuals in scale and context.
SITE
The lab will take place in Bremen, „Güterbahnhof, Tor 26“ will be the meeting place, the public viewing is planned for the HfK Building at the Dechanatstr.
CONTENT
The artists‘ lab consists of introductions to hard- and software and experimental working session, lecture talks on the history of the projected image, on digital art in public space and on the impact of the digital transformation on image-making, communication, and society. We will create an open space to share knowledge, discussion, and development with our tandem project in Tunis.
CO-LEARNING AND CO-WORKING
We hope to gather creative minds that are looking for an opportunity to work on a large scale. The artists‘ lab is open to artists and architects, designers and photographers and all kinds of creative minds who want to discover the interplay of projected imageries and the built environment in Bremen and in Tunis.
