The project "Crossing" in Nuit Blache





The project "Crossing" make the crowds drawn to Nuit Blanche will find their foot traffic oddly echoed by virtual figures projected onto the canted walls of the Royal Ontario Museum’s Crystal façade.The contours and planes of the architecture, activated by the animation, will set the boundaries and surfaces by which the clambering figures must find their way. Sometimes the figures will wrap around the bends in the faceted façade or find themselves mirrored, magnified or transformed on a nearby or distant facet. At other times the figures will seem to have penetrated the architecture and will be seen, x-ray-like, inside it. Occasionally a figure or two will ascend to the top as if climbing into the sky. I like this work most in Nuit Blache. It is a installation, combine the digital art(what I learn) and the architecture. It use the Special appearance of the building to make the figures in the video have different field and also different direction. And the figures action also changed by the appearance. The crystal material make the figure more like walking on the street.  

This project give me a inspiration that digital Arts did not just confined to screen, paper, these traditional materials. The work also can combine the with the environment and other art form like industrial Design, architecture, sculpture. And also the interaction with the audience will also be a future trend.
