Journey to the Dark II

Journey to the Dark II

Artist Yang Yongliang created this impressive short film that combines the light seen in cities with the stars in the sky. The full piece was designed for the MGM Cotai Theater’s massive 12 x 70-meter wraparound screen, so for maximum enjoyment, you’ll want to watch this video in full screen in a darkened room.

Light of City Lamps

Light of City Lamps

These laser-cut lamps feature designs inspired by the neon signs of Hong Kong. Not only are the lamps cool to look at, but they cast awesome shadows onto your walls and ceiling. They’ll be made in two materials, with the pricey copper version offering the sharpest images, while the acrylic version is far more economical.

Genèse

Performance artists U-Machine created this work in which a pole dancer interacts with the geometric images projected on the screen behind her. The result is a live performance that could pass as the opening credit sequence for the next James Bond movie (if it had guns.)

Filmmaker Jeff Desom teamed up with model maker Oli Pesch to recreate miniature sets of famous movie scenes, and then populated them with “holographic” images of actors projected onto an angled semi-transparent screen. This is how 3D movies should look. More here.

Ink Mapping

Ink Mapping

Oskar & Gaspar show us the least painful way to get a full body tattoo, by projection mapping intricate designs onto the bodies of models who already had some real ink. The animations truly bring the tattoos to life, though some of them kind of creeped us out.

More Than a Sign

More Than a Sign

In Russia, many drivers ignore signs for disabled parking spaces. The non-profit Dislife decided to teach these folks a lesson by rigging up holographic projections of people with disabilities who would pop up as they enter a parking space without the proper permit.

Artists Mimi Son and Elliot Woods of Kimchi and Chips created this incredible light installation which uses countless, precisely controlled light beams to create volumetric objects which appear to float in space. Geek out on the tech here.

Ritot Projection Watch

Ritot Projection Watch

We saw a concept for a watch that could project the time back in 2009. Now, there’s an Indiegogo campaign to bring one to reality. The Ritot uses tech which can shine the current time, messages and notifications on the back of your hand.
