Urban Projection



Trying to research for video urban landscape, I stumbled across this and I thought it was great. Set up by Up Projects, M-O-T-H are video graffiti artists who use wearable projector units so they can project anywhere and everywhere.

In choosing this picture, was that in such hostile urban environment, light (projection) can make something look so beautiful and different. I feel this relates back to emotion, where projection changes the mind to think differently about something. Or moreover, the sense of ‘more than meets the eye’.
Maybe we could take a few photographs and maybe make a short video of hostile urban environments and project Hu’s ‘emotion’ animations on top to change the feeling of the image.

From the website above, I done a little more research on ‘M-O-T-H’ and the image above was from a series where the ‘M-O-T-H’ projectors went around projecting on different backgrounds.
These projectors (see video below) can change the mood of a building, make people laugh, look and be intrigued by images.
