A San Francisco arts and engineering collective has combined projection mapping, robotics and software engineering to create a mesmerising live performance. Bot & Dolly said it "produced the work to serve as both an artistic statement and technical demonstration". "The Box" video shows a live performance captured entirely on camera with no effects added after.
Robotic arms were used to suspend two
2D screens. Two projectors fire onto the screens
to create the amazing effects seen in the
video.
The creators of the video said the
technology had the potential to “radically transform theatrical
presentations and define new genres of expressionâ€.
They
described The Box as an: “artistic statement and
technical demonstration" that explores "the synthesis of real
and digital space through projection mapping on moving surfacesâ€.
