Moving Architecture. Video Projections on Buildings.

Buildings are leaving behind their characteristics as permanent still volumes and changing into interactive elements. Human perception shifts to perceive them now more like a TV than a squared sleek facade. That gives them the special effect "in motion" that we didn´t have before, opening the possibilities to a broad spectrum of typologies.

 It seems large scale video projections are becoming lately very popular as an instrument of marketing and a way of attracting attention in cultural events and art hubs. Here is a video projection from URBANSCREEN, a german company dedicated to the production of this special unique pieces of architecture in motion.

You can see one of the videos about their great creations here:

Antony Gormley. Firmament IV

 

Antony Gormley (UK) is just a machine of innovation, creativity and talent. In my opinion one of the best artists alive nowadays. His expression of the human body and the social interaction in our society leaves none indifferent. Words don´t do justice to his work, which can´t just be explained. It has to be seen an experienced live. There is a new exhibition in Sydney, Australia, so if you happen to be around, just drop by and post back your comments, as I would have loved to see it with my own eyes. For the rest of us, the only option is to admire the pictures from the exhibition in Design Boom or take a look at the photos about his creations uploaded from any user on Flickr.
