Svenja Kubler of Lichtfront sends in a video to their latest installation “Passagen 2010”, what they call an “Augmented Sculpture”. To watch it at first you may think it’s CG or LCD panels, but you’ld be wrong: It’s projected onto a physical sculpture.
we did it with 4 projectors, placed around the object. The graphics were done in AfterEffects. We worked in a composition that was cutted into the 4 output movies at the end. Then we played the 4 videos on 2 computer, synchronised by a vvvv patch.
Fun to watch, and impressive. See the video below.

This is quite quite beautiful, and right up my alley, but I think it’s unfortunate that they’ve called it “augmented” because that suggests that it is employing some kind of augmented reality technology, which it’s not. It sort of demeans what is otherwise an extra special piece of art. Projection mapping rocks. Thanks for sharing, Randall.
