Medialize.it presents an intensive course/seminary dedicated to learning the basic and advanced techniques for new media art and design related to multidisciplinary applications.
Particular attention is given to the state of art technologies for digital productions: the projection mapping art and the interaction design.
New media and projection mapping technquiques, UX design’s methodologies to open the creative process generating responsible and aware communicative architectures interacting between bodies, spaces/objects and technology.
A seminar of high artistic and professional training allowing to immediately experience and practice the acquired knowledge, to provide the conceptual and research tools allowing to design authentic and original projects.

Lecturer: Pasquale Direse

New Media Art and Design

A design lab/seminary to know and to experience the fundamentals and all the creative phases of the videoprojection mapping techniques, of the interaction design, of the new media architecture design and practices applied and dedicated to lighting facades, irregular and specific surfaces, urabn environments and objects including the organic body.

DAY ONE
• Introduction to the videoMapping techniques and to the architecture of the interaction; presentation of design examples
• The hardware and software technologies for videographic and interactive production (audio / visual interactivitiy and setups)
• Measurements and relief techniques; the survey; the digital representation of architecture and objects
• Learning of video projection techniques on three-dimensional and complex surfaces
• Concept and design of an audio-visual production; drafting and digital elaboration
• Production and post-production of graphics, videography and sound: masks, outlines and creation of (audio/)visual content
• Measurements survey and three-dimensional representation of spaces and objects
• Brief overview of advanced techniques and emerging practices: from 3D videoprojection mapping to interaction design

DAY TWO
• Technical setups (multiple videoprojectors systems and multimedia output management, edge blending and mapping images on moving surfaces)
• Project setup and practical testing of all the work’s phases
• Site-specific design and technical set-up: the technical tools for mapping videoprojections
• Videographic production and post-production: computer graphics and vfx
• Summary of the skills acquired during the seminar
• Definition of specific test projects and practical experimentation of the technical setup
• Final open discussion and rehearsal tests.

Each meeting is based on practical sessions with the experimentation of the knowledge acquired through the implementation of micro-projects supported by thematic ideas and in the desired areas of application.
Several softwares and hardwares will be presented and explored during the course with particular attention to their recombination and to the best suitable workflow for the desired field of interest.
