On Study of The Projection Mapping in Media Arts
1 Introduction
Video Mapping is one of the newest video projection techniques that are used to turn
almost any surface into a dynamic video display. The aim of video mapping is to
create a physical illusion of images by combining audio-visual elements. This
technique is used by artists and advertisers alike who can add extra dimensions,
optical illusions, and notions of movement onto previously static objects. Large
companies such as Nokia, Samsung and BMW have since used video projections to
create campaigns for their products in major cities across the world. Artists may use it
as an avant garde form of expression as it is new technology that can turn their
creative ideas into 3D projections, connecting with audiences in a new way. This way,
artists can show their work in any location as anything and anywhere can be a canvas.

Yekpare was performed within the Istanbul 2010 European Capital of Culture events.
It is a story teller to narrate 8500 years' story of Istanbul. Installations objective is to
display historical view of Istanbul by using symbolic and narrative images, through
the creation of artistic and dramatic space. It aims to reach more viewers and touch
their feeling, creating this emotional ambience dramatically.
Like digital creatures set loose from the world of the movie Tron, two wild animals
light up the night with dazzling displays of color illuminating their surfaces. Created
by Sober Industries and Studio Rewind, the large scale sculptures featured the
unlikely pairing of an owl and a rhinoceros. The two were displayed and covered with
mapped visuals that could be spectator controlled.
3 Interactive Artwork
Digital art is affected by conceptual art that is an art movement, based on the
concept or idea. Thus, the concept is the most important aspect for the
composition of the artwork to attract viewers attention by combining the art and
technology. The artwork titled dynamic room is a projection mapping, also known
as video mapping and spatial augmented reality, project which is a projection
technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for
video projection. As people select one in the showroom, the video is playing and
mapping the object associated with.
Specialized software, MadMapper, is used to warp and mask the projected image to
make it fit perfectly on irregularly shaped screens. The software can interact with a
projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object. The important issue
for an effective performance is to choose the objects to apply on artwork. In that, the
artwork interacts with the audience. This interaction is provided by joy stick technique
which is controlled by using VVVV program. Also, Final Cut Pro, Flash and After
Effects software are used for making video related to objects.
In this paper, we reviewed the media art pieces using projection mapping techniques
and presented an art work, dynamic room. In future, it will be tried to add various
interaction ways such as networking which let user control the contents in artwork
and get the feedback from the audiences who have experienced the performance
