Thursday May 28th*: Presentation and showing of the most relevant video mapping projects in its various fields of application (architectural projections, installations, live sets, interactive dance, theater)

Friday May 29th: In-depth analysis of each showed project in order to understand employed methods, technical possibilities and needs related to each work scenario and its inherent limitations. Ideation of a conceptual map in order to summarize the different scenarios and methodologies to be adopted. Practical tests, in reproducible scenarios, to confront the problems of specific situations.

Saturday May 30th: We create our mapping 1. Preparing the mapping: what do we need to know about projector, optical lens, distances, calculations, resolutions and the real place. We create our mapping 2. Conception of an esthetics and a dramaturgy. How our project can emerge effective and consistent with respect to a selected architectural surface.

Sunday May 31th: We create our mapping 3. Working in groups and review. Hints on the future, on innovative methods of assisted mapping and interactive-dynamic mapping.

* Every class session will be about 3 hours except first day (about 2 hours instead)
