Course content

The student using customized video projections,
using the technique of projection mapping and the use of special software, will attempt the plastic redesign of volume and space. The course is developed around the design and construction of a plastic proposal with volumes and surfaces, for the creation of an audiovisual installation in an interior or public space with reference:
– The particular importance of the duration-time of the projection in terms of the final audiovisual effect on the surface of the volumes.
– The importance of sound in the virtual transformation of the space and the volumes of which it is composed.
– On the art and power of symbols as a language.
The course is supported by a series of lectures structured in modules on the thematic axis: volume-space-sound-image.
– of the real with the digital world
– History of projection mapping applications in architecture
projection mapping in architecture and visual discourse.
– Interactive applications in art and architectural projection mapping
– Historical review of projection mapping applications in the performing arts [dance and theatre]
– Projection mapping as a backdrop,
– The projection mapping in animation
– Technical projection issues, Lighting Intensity, Projection Adjustment, Flatness and Surface tonality and color variations, Position and rotation calculation, Predicting object movement, Adjusting to projection surfaces in relief.
– Introduction to computer programs for projection mapping
– Audio and animation editing features
– Processing programming language

Programme aims

The subject of the elective course Plastic Arts III , is the linking of spatial-plastic formulations with digital tools [audiovisual media].
The course aims to introduce new media in the course of plastics.

Learning Outcomes: Knowledge and Understanding

After the end of the course students :
– Will have received an introductory knowledge of design in digital environments, which may broaden new fields of research.
– They will have obtained scientific and technological knowledge to develop proposals in specialization courses.
– They will be able to respond directly to morphoplastic space issues with innovative and original ideas .
– They will strengthen their team spirit of cooperation and creative abilities.
– They will be able to handle the appropriate digital media and tools for the implementation of plastic surgery in the field.
– They will have acquired method, critical thinking and perception as to the multiple options available to solve a problem.
