Introduction to Live Video Projection - Mapping

Interested in visual art or digital media? This hands-on workshop is your chance to explore projection mapping — a technique that lets you project videos onto surfaces like walls, floors, or 3D objects in creative and unexpected ways.

Across four sessions, you’ll learn how to edit video, manipulate images, and use intuitive mapping software to shape visuals to fit different spaces. You’ll get to create your own audiovisual piece, experiment with real-time projection, and even learn how to stream your work online.

What will I get from taking part?

At the end of this workshop, students will be able to:

• Shape video into objects and spaces.
• Create various projections simultaneously.
• Learn how to stream mapping content into a streaming service.

We’ll wrap up the programme with a joint sharing session on Thursday 23 October, where you’ll team up with the DJing group to show what you’ve been working on. It’s a great chance to share your creations, check out each other’s projects, and celebrate everything you’ve done together in a chilled, supportive space.

I’M NOT SURE I CAN AFFORD TO TAKE PART…
