Videomapping on Starry Nights

Starry Nights is an urban multi-genre festival. His intention is to revive the public space of Bytča for 4 days with concerts, film screenings, theater, other accompanying activities and to breathe a magical festival atmosphere for a moment.

TRAKT will take care of video mapping this year. When? 16 August 2019.

Videomapping directly follows the guided tour of Bytča. Projection or mapping, also known as projection mapping, moves up the water wall last year, this time the top of the pharmacy’s facade. This has not been distorted by the visual urban advertising smog, which in cities covers more and more not only surfaces and facades. Projection areas can also be complex industrial landscapes, such as building facade complexes, as well as small interior items or theater scenes. Using special software, a two- or three-dimensional object or visual is spatially mapped so that it can copy shapes and lines of the screen directly. The software communicates with the projector to fit all desired images onto the surface of the subject. The new media art technique is mainly used by creatives and artists who can create additional dimensions, optical illusions and specific movements into previously static objects. Video projection is often performed in combination with sound and music or it is conceived as an audio-visual narration with a micro story. TRAKT performers on Star Nights will present a special tailored video mapping. The history of the pharmacy building as well as the name of its architect will appear in both abstract and concrete visual images.

The third weekend of August was the 4th year of the Starry Nights multi-genre festival in Bytča. This small Slovak festival has a completely different concept to which we might have been used to. It takes place in the city, in several places, outdoors and indoors.

It brings music, theatre and movies and does not forget even the youngest visitors. Traditionally, the highlight of the art part of the event program was the video mapping which surprised the audience by its form this year. Bytča became the only Slovak town using the video mapping. The light artworks were presented on the river, in the middle of the square.

On Friday evening, the water wall rising from the Petrovice River revived and the video mapping projection from the workshop of the art formation TRAKT was exposed. We are grateful to DHZ Hlinik for the water wall.
