TECHNOLOGIES
It is a well-known philosophical thinking: we commonly differentiate art and technique. There is no similarity between mastering the rules of the craftsman and the artist’s creativity: it is when art clambers out of the technician’s efforts that it is identified as such. It is different for video mapping, because the tool enabling its projection is in itself a technical challenge.
For this discipline at the crossroads of art and technique, these 2 areas of expertise are so linked to each other that it is impossible to dissociate the first one from the other. As it sublimates the creative matter, the advancement of technologies for video mapping – as well in term of conception, projection or use – enables it to invest unexpected activity fields.
Let’s take stock with 3 researchers and specialists.
• Material, lighting environment, physical constraints, artists’ or sponsors’ wishes, how to set up the right technical device?
