Initiation on LED mapping and stage design for events, art installations and performances.
An initiative created by Optikal Ink Lab. Special guest VJ Gorilla.


LED Mapping is a new technique that uses LED technology and DMX/arnet protocols to design spaces, stages, installations, sculptures and suits among others using a specialized software and hardware set-up to programming lights. Meantime stage design makes the difference when it comes down to the details, it is about working with specific spaces thriving on the limitations and using the available area in unique and creative ways to bring out the best for performances or shows.

Currently both techniques are used for different artistic and commercial purposes, we can find sculptures, live AV performances, window shops, scenography and fashion designs based on it but the limit is your creativity. With this workshop we expand the possibilities for those who works with lighting, scenography, visual design and art, as well as for enthusiasts who want to start in this field learning the basic steps to work on it.

Students will get fully-functional 30-day trial versions of the MadMapper software.
