In 2020, the INTERFERENCE Series starts with an artists’ lab to explore architecture projection. In 2016 and 2018, a key element of INTERFERENCE International Light Art Project has been architecture projections by artists from around the world. In 2020, we offer a lab to learn how to turn your visuals into architecture projections. We will bring digital projectors, the free open-source software VVVV, and coaches to assist you.

You come and bring your ideas and your visuals. This can be analogue or digital images from drawing, painting, collaging, photographing or anything else. Jointly, we will make it appear in the streets of the Medina.

CONTENT

The artists’ lab consists of introductions to hard- and software and experimental working session, lecture talks on the history of the projected image, on digital art in public space and on the impact of the digital transformation on image-making, communication, and society. We will create an open space to share knowledge, discussion, and development.

CO-LEARNING AND CO-WORKING

We hope to gather creative minds that are looking for an opportunity to work on a large scale. The artists’ lab is open to artists and architects, designers and photographers and all kinds of creative minds who want to discover the interplay of projected imageries and the built environment. We will wander the streets of the Medina with digital projectors exploring streets and squares, buildings and ensembles to work on the dialogue of projection and urban surfaces.

INTERNATIONAL TANDEMING

In parallel, the DIGITAL IMPACT LAB in Bremen (Germany) will host an artists’ lab in Bremen. Part of the sessions will be done in hybrid onsite and online formats to foster exchange and dialogue in debate, development, and display.

PUBLIC VIEWING

The best results of the lab will be up for public viewing on 2/3 October 2020 in Tunis and later on in Bremen (Germany).

Under the title “Digital Shift” the co-operation is supported by IFA SYNERGY.
