Space Invaders attack Marble Arch in London. Here’s another cool 3D projection for you to feast your beady eyes upon. If you can live through Jason from The Gadget Show yelling and get to the end of the projection you’ll see a wonderful example of architecture mapping! Woo! Enjoy!
ACDC vs Iron Man 2 on the face of Rochester Castle - 3D Architectual Mapping Projection at its finest. On the site of a thousand years of violent history, ACDC were pitted against Iron Man in a ground breaking architectural projection mapping project. The front facade of the Great Keep at Rochester Castle, was brought to life using the latest in 3D animation techniques. This onslaught of the senses, saw the castle confront it’s ultimate challenge. Warping, morphing, spewing and collapsing before the audiences eyes - incredible!
Gorey Castle Comes Under ‘Digital Attack’
Excerpt from http://www.wired.co.uk
Evan Grant brings buildings to life. As part of Jersey’s recent Branchage Festival, the 29-year-old founder of Shoreditch-based arts and technology collective Seeper projected ultra-bright video on to the walls of the third-century Gorey Castle. This “3D projection mapping” made polychrome blocks appear to slide out of the fortifications and the structure twist and collapse against the night sky.
“We used a Christie 25K projector,” he explains. “It creates lightning in a xenon bulb to get the intensity of 12.5 times an office model.” A collaboration with Hackney collective Flat-e, the video was tailored to the castle in the visualisation software Cinema 4D, so the projection fell exactly on the building from 40 metres away. “The idea was that it has been attacked so much over the years, but we’re digitally attacking it in a non-violent way. The most crucial part is the ‘shadow’, because it makes your brain perceive depth.” Next on his list? “I’d love to do the Houses of Parliament.”
Really, REALLY cool video here. I will allow the following to explain what the heck is ging on!

“How it would be, if a house was dreaming”
The conception of this project consistently derives from its underlying architecture - the theoretic conception and visual pattern of the Hamburg Kunsthalle. The Basic idea of narration was to dissolve and break through the strict architecture of O. M. Ungers “Galerie der Gegenwart”. Resultant permeabilty of the solid facade uncovers different interpretations of conception, geometry and aesthetics expressed through graphics and movement. A situation of reflexivity evolves - describing the constitution and spacious perception of this location by means of the building itself.
