Art and Technology

I came across a company called "Mr. Beam" this morning and was amazed at what they do. This company specializes in 3D video mapping, then projecting their work onto buildings and structures using multiple projector screens. This blows my mind. Here's my 2 favorite videos showing what they do.

Gent

Licht Festival Gent

For the first time in Belgium the city of Gent organized a Light Festival and Mr. Beam was a part of it. For this special event we chose the backyard of the conservatory of Gent, what gave us a beautiful 180 degree canvas to work with.

Living Room

Concept by Mr. Beam

We created an unique 3D mapping video experience by turning a white living room into a spacious 360 degree projection area.

This technique allowed us to take control of all colors, patterns and textures of the furniture, wallpapers and carpet. All done with 2 projectors.

Happy New Year!

Hello 2011.

"It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life For me

And I'm feeling good."

Lyrics from the song "Feeling Good" sung by Michael Buble, Lyrics by -Nina Simone

1 week into 2011 and I'm still thinking about new years resolutions: Run every day, Read scriptures, Work out, Consistent guitar practice, Take more pictures, Record more music, Write original songs, Blog more...that's just a few. Bottom line of my resolutions: Be Better, Do More, Work Smarter, Play harder, Enjoy Every Moment.

This morning I woke up and looked outside and everything

was covered in frost. It was a beautiful sight, so I grabbed my camera and headed outside. Here's a few of the pics I took. I love winter time!

And a few more....

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by.
