Video Projection: The Emergence of Fusion

Hello everyone, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you guys : )

My name is Shuang Li and I'm from People's Republic of China. I'm now a graduate student of

UFL, pursuing for the Master degree of Digital Arts and Science in DWI. You can call me Andy as well.

I am a music fanatic and my most-interested part of arts is Music Production, Sound Design, Soundtrack, etc. I produce music with Cubase/Nuendo System. I think I can do sound stuff in the team. It would be appreciated if some of you like music and let's just discuss about the collective field. This is the website on which I upload some of my music work demos: http://site.douban.com/andyleemusic Please feel free to click and try.

There is a genre of music called fusion and the Video Projection to me is more like a "Fusion".

In the fields of music, fusion is normally regarded as the combination of two or more different genres. Reading the article "The Emergence of Video Projection", I come to know more about the V-Projection.

The article introduces the origin of video projection and its development. Projection mentioned isn't showed as modern monitor-based video art but linked more intimately to the ancient art forms of painting and typical video projections. It starts from the projected presentation. The booming of science and technologies makes the projection more and more multi-cultural. It develops with the pace of contemporary arts, being applied to many fields nowadays, such as live music, theater, dancing performance, etc. Some outstanding artists helped improve the projection tech. Viola and Hill, as the propeller, created some incredible works to stimulate our sense.

Projection has deep roots in the core medium. It tells a story by integrating photos, videos, music and some other media together. As the article said, "Like photography, projected video is full of legible information taken from the material world." When producing projection, we collect information from the real world we share by digital devices and input them into the computer. After a innovative production, just imagine how the digital projection on the multi-dimension screen will be. Accompanied with rhythmic flashing light and 5.1 dolby surround sound, audiences just stand in the center of the projected presentation space and feel other than watch. That would be fascinating.

This is a work produced by the technique: 3D Projection Mapping. 3D projection is any method of mapping three-dimensional points to a two-dimensional plane.

This is another one, which is defined as music-visualization.

Looking forward to do some stuff with you guys.

C U then.
