- 6. July 10, 2008 Video Art Technology An Introduction Over the last five years I have researched video wall technology and designed applications for its use in many different areas. Ranging from museums, live events, restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, urban environments, research facilities and private residencies. Technology has always fascinated me and I constantly seek to find new ways of working with emerging equipment and materials, incorporating new concepts into production environments. Through experimentation and unconventional methods, I explore new technology, bending it to the needs of my projects. An example of this would be the use of motion or optical sensors combined with custom computer software, which allows the movement of a person to adjust parameters, such as color or effects, of a video image. Recent advances in computers and projection technology have enabled increasingly efficient ways of working with high-resolution media, achieving stunning visual results and yielding the prospect to now work with video in much more fluid ways, revealing possibilities never before imagined. The concept of video art is often considered to be the making of films or creating of advertisements. Having worked with both domains of thought, I prefer the domain in which video art would be considered a lighting experience that doesn't necessarily incorporate text or story and is more associated with the ability to control aspects of light to allow the present architectural expression remain. Through the subtle use of video editing software and live manipulation of video, images can be digitally carved or masked to map toward specific areas of a surface, such as the fa巽ade of a building or an interior. Blending with the complete design and decor of a building, video content can match every aspect of space, adding a dynamic and beautiful addition to any environment. I call this process architectural video mapping. ! "#$%&'!(#)%*+,! -+./#!0*1+$1!2!3,4+,//*! 56,/*!7!895!:;&,<1'=+!>?@@A!
