Mural Mapping - a chance to see your art projected multiple stories high.
What is Mural Mapping?
While projection mapping generally requires expertise in 3D animation software, Mural Mapping is a more traditional spin on the same idea that allows area artists to engage with projection mapping concepts. For Mural Mapping, LUMA creates a 2D scale drawing of a historic building facade which then gets screen printed onto canvas and paper, and made accessible as digital files. This allows dozens of local artists to work in whatever medium they choose: collage paint, pencil or anything else.
We highly encourage artists to consider the architecture presented in the template when creating their work, because the most compelling mappings incorporate building features. The finished works are reviewed, then 15 selected artworks are scanned in extremely high resolution and projected onto building facades throughout the festival weekend.
Project Partners: Cooperative Gallery 213, Discovery Center of the Southern Tier, WSKG
