FLxER 7.0 | Artistic residency | April 3 > 6

We are making an artistic residency to do an interactive mapping framework from 1 to 7 of April in Istanbul. The project is a 4 days residency to build a video mapping games framework with Touch Designer, and 1 day of workshops and presentations inside Sonar Istanbul 2018.

The aim is to develop a framework to let other people build their games in a more contemporary and powerful ambient as the Touch Designer is now representing. The idea came out from the work done by Gianluca Del Gobbo on FLxER; the last version of the software is able to load games and expose to this games OSC and the SVG maps that the game can use.

Once done this tool can be used not only for mapping or games, but in every live show where you want your visuals to interact with shapes you draw live.

Video & LED Mapping | Workshop

11:00 > 20:00 | April 7 | Sonar Istanbul

Zorlu Performing Arts Center | Levazım Mah, Koru Sok 2

FREE ENTRY // BOOKING REQUIRED

One full day to learn everything related to Video Mapping techniques, from the project idea to the final realization.

Technical study, optical, video projectors, lux, blueprint, 2d, 3d, music and sound effects, taught by Ricardo Silveira Cançado (VJ Eletroiman) from Brazil, member of the Telenoika Community.

After a painstaking measurement process, we construct detailed 2D and 3D models of the target surface. We then generate the audio and video content, using these models to "map" the content onto the finest details of the specific site. This allows us to visually alter the appearance of the architecture – by controlling light, colour and surface volume – to change its very nature and transform the way it’s perceived.

Our standard plan can be sketched as follows:

Technical Site Visit for photography and measurements

Assessment of site-specific technical requirements to devise the technical rider

Software development

2D and 3D modelling

Test Site Visit for verification of the modelled template against the site;

Visual content creation

Audio content creation

Post-production and editing

On-site set-up and final adjustments

Live show

Minimum/maximum number of participants: 8/15

Prerequisites for attending the workshop: At least some basic knowledge of graphical animation, video, photography

Requirements for the participants: A laptop with installed Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects

Duration of the workshop: 1 DAY // 9 HOURS
