The Macula Project

About The Macula:

The Macula project explores the relationship between image, sound and viewer. It fights the established limits and pushes the boundaries in search of alternative approaches. The goal is to achieve perfect symbiosis and satisfy audio-visual nihilism. Video mapping is a new visual style based on VJing. When the standard 2D projection screen was becoming too ordinary, efforts to find something new led to the discovery of open space projection on any surface.

Videomapping uses common entertainment technology in a new, innovative way. The main objective is to use projections tailored to the selected surface or object to shatter the viewer’s perception of perspective. The projector allows bending and highlighting any shape, line or space. A suggestive play of light on a physical object creates a new dimension and changes the perception of a seemingly ordinary object.

Everything becomes an illusion.

SPECTRUM

Spectrum – from the Latin… represents image, seen as an instance of something.

Spectrum* analyzes allegorical sensation of the image itself and the moment that makes the process of innovation. It focuses on the expression of the virtual world in a designated physical space. Silver, one of the symbols of Kutna Hora, whose essential feature is to reflect light and in a polished mirror state to reflect real world, provides us with an ideal opportunity to link it with the Church of St. Barbara, another symbol of this city. The result of this synthesis is an abstract graphic display of silver, its forms and its journey through time. * from the Latin… represents image, seen as an instance of something.
