Projection Mapping 1.0 For Beginners

CHiKA

Projection mapping is an amazing technique for manipulating video to create illusions of deconstruction and redefinition of physical shapes by moving away from traditional flat projection surfaces.

This is the second installment of our 2 day workshop, that serves as a comprehensive introduction to methods for creating projection mapping. The tools used in the workshop are MadMapper and Modul8. The students will get fully-functional 30-day trial versions of the software to create a collaborative projection mapping installation for the end of class.

This workshop is intended for the students who want to learn how to develop projection mapping projects for future events, art installations, and performances.

CHiKA

CHiKA is a Japanese born New York-based artist who works with light sculptures, audiovisual performances, and technology. Her experience working as a real-time visual artist, VJ with experimental sound composers, 8-bit musicians, and club DJs, experimenting with improvisational communication with an audience synchronously and one-way communication with public audiences strongly influences her desire to connect them to her installation directly through interactive technology. Her interest in the medium has changed alongside technological evolution from Photography, Graphic Design, VJing, Projection-Mapping, to Light Sculpture to connect the public. She received her BFA at the School of Visual Arts and her Masters from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts. As an educator, she is the founder of a projection mapping and LED pixel mapping workshop, Mappathon™, teaching mapping techniques and technology, from conceptualizing to finalizing the installation, and artist development through her practice. Since 2017, she has been part of the Paseo festival advisory council, and she was a Designers-in-Resident at the New York Hall of Science in 2020. She was a Visible Future Lab resident at the School of Visual Arts in 2019, New Media resident at Mana Contemporary in 2018, Harvestworks workspace resident, and Elsewhere artist resident in 2017, Bronx Museum AIM program, Laboratory resident, BRIC Media arts fellow, and Triangle workshop resident in 2016, Made in NY Media Center by IFP resident in 2015, Eyebeam Spring Summer resident in 2013, IAC teaching and research fellow and ITP research resident in 2012 and Experimental TV Center resident in 2009. Her work has been exhibited in the US as well as at numerous international venues and festivals.
