CHOREOGRAPHICS : ANIMATING SPACE OVER TIME WITH PROJECTION MAPPING
Thu 6:00pm – 9:00pm with Sean Healy at (100.6.02 + 100.5.03) ( contact : sean.healy  @  rmit.edu.au ) This specialisation will explore how video projection mapping can be used to animate interiors spaces and transform built structures over time. In the process, we will make custom-made animations, videos and motion graphics, and investigate how they can be applied to generate atmosphere and modify spatial dynamics over time.

The aim of these investigations will be for students to design a projection mapped video installation for the annual winter Dark MOFO festival run by the Museum of New and Modern Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania.
