Class activities:

MadMapper introduction: connect the computer to a projector and download the MadMapper demo version. This allows you to project images and videos directly onto the wall. We first started by using simple animation and graphics. Then we tried fitting these within a designated space, the picture frame.

Design challenge- Project mapping on 3D surface:

Objective: to transform a simple 3D surface through projection mapping. The focus will be on using media to reinterpret the it in a creative, narrative-driven way. Think of it as not just as a surface but as an object with potential meanings. What story could you tell through this shape?Use MadMapper to fit the media onto the surface, ensuring that the visuals align with the object’s physical form. The projection should go beyond aesthetics. What is the narrative or message? Consider how light, colour, and movement interact with the object to build the narrative.
