Pablo Reyes - Week 1 Backdrop Mapping

Concept:

Both of my concepts are inspired by Mike Winkelmann also known as Beeple, a graphic designer that releases content through a creative commons license in which famous artists like Srillex, Tiesto, and Flying Lotus have used during their concerts. Also, the outstanding architecture and magnitude of the Founders and ECS building at UTD begged to be spatially activated thus the following ideas were implemented:

Founders Building - The University of Texas at Dallas

Engineering and Computer Science Building - The  University of Texas at Dallas

Technique:

For the Founders building concept I used Beeple's UNPLUG (loop) and projected it on the main surfaces of the composition using quads, mesh quads, lines, and masking, such would be visible from a distance as well as experienced when walking from both sides of the building. The grid pattern of the windows was accentuated with animated lines and a fill-up animation that complemented the orange dominating color of the video as the lines flowed through the grid. Lastly, a smooth wave animation was used on a couple of horizontal surfaces which balance the magnitude and power of the main vertical quads.







My second concept was also inspired and constructed for Beeple's Transparent MachinesMajor ideas came from the message of the composition and the current net neutrality situation, my take on this topic is reflected by the emphasis of the text used in my projection and various other quads with relevant sections of Beeple's composition such as people like Barack Obama & Mark Zuckerberg. I aimed to keep the intended eye movement of the audience thus the position of text which persuades the viewer to flow throughout the design.
