videomapping – Maarten van der Glas

Little Black Fish

maartendepaarten — Thu, 10 Dec 2020 14:15:38 +0000

In collaboration with a group of very young artists this magical installation was made at the Vrolijkheid in the Amsterdam asylum seekers’ center. The installation, which shines over the grounds at night like a lantern, originates from a series of illustration workshops. By drawing together, inspiration was gathered for a moving underwater world.

The project, which will be on display in the upcoming weeks at the Vrolijke Museum in the Amsterdam asylum seekers’ center, is based on the story “The Little Black Fish” by the Iranian writer Samad Behrangi. A little fish breaks away from its resistant mother and environment. It ends up in the big, bad world and encounters all sorts of things.

The technical challenge of this video projection was that 4 projector were needed to project around the greenhouse. The greenhouse was very small, so mirrors were used to extend the projection. Maarten van der Glas also wrote software to run on 4 little computers (raspberry pi’s) that each played a part of the video. All computers were connected via a network to play the image in sync. And because of the projection angles all images had to be corrected by the custom video software. The result worked flawlessly.

For the 18th editing of the Playtime festival in Mongolia Sara Orfali aka ALPHAWHALE and Maarten van der Glas participated in 3 days of VJing at the TechnoStage. Part of the programming was under auspices of TodaysArt in collaboration with Art Counsel Mongolia.

Sara had made a design of a constellation of triangular screens. We video-mapped those screens and mixed our visuals onto them.

Sara was very interested in Voronoi structures for projections and Maarten was experimenting with feedback loop and so called data moshing techniques.

We were very pleased with the result, the DJ’s and the crowd. It was a very special experience at an amazing festival at an awesome location.

International Media Arts Festival 2019 Ulaanbaatar

maartendepaarten — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 15:55:49 +0000

For the Ulaanbaatar International Media Arts Festival (IMAF) Maarten van der Glas and Sara Orfali were invited to realise the opening act for the festival. The opening act comprised of a live surround video projection in the Dinosaur Museum of Ulanbataar, live motion tracking of a dancer and special video effects. Maarten van der Glas developed a custom rendering system and tracking system.

Arts Counsel Mongolia initiated the UIMAF in 2016 with the commitment to facilitate innovation, collaboration, strategic growth and cultural impact for the media arts in Mongolia.

The 4th edition of UBIMAF reflects on the theme of migration. Global events over the last decade make this an apt topic for artistic engagement.

The festival opening will take place at the Central Museum of Dinosaurs on June 27, 2019 with experimental performance “Arrival” a joint work by Mongolian, Dutch and German artists.

GREETING FROM THE GOETHE-INSTITUT

In an open, multilateral curatorial process, the Goethe-Institutes from 9 countries in East and Southeast Asia brought together curators from Mongolia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore to examine the relationship between art and migration.

The first of these exhibitions is the Ulaanbaatar International Media Art Festival.

MIGRATION IN MONGOLIA

UBIMAF reflects on the theme of migration. Global events over the last decade make this an apt topic for artistic and scholarly engagement. In 2019 the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees estimated that there are 68.5 million forcibly displaced people worldwide.

Given the themes of UBMAF, it is appropriate that this festival is held in Ulaanbaatar: a city whose population has rapidly increased over the last thirty years under the influence of significant internal migration.

#BeKind2019

#BeKind2019

In opdracht van Gemeente Amsterdam zorgde Artifex met #BeKind2019 voor een vernieuwend en verbindend oud en nieuw in Amsterdam. Irma de Vries en Maarten van der Glas verzorgde een video mapping op de kop van java voorafgaande aan de vuurwerkshow van oud en nieuw.

Oud & Nieuw
In december reflecteren we op het afgelopen jaar en leven we toe naar het nieuwe jaar. De engelen nodigen je uit om een nieuwjaarswens te doen voor een ander. Dit kun je doen door plaats te nemen tussen de vleugels en de wens te delen via sociale media met #BeKind2019. Op 31 december om middernacht worden de nieuwjaarswensen symbolisch losgelaten in het nieuwe jaar tijdens de nieuwjaarsviering van de stad Amsterdam op de Kop van Java. Om twaalf uur ‘s nachts is er een spetterende vuurwerkshow. Vanaf het Java-eiland, de Jan Schaeferbrug en de Noordwal is het vuurwerk te bekijken.

Videokunst

Voorafgaand aan de vuurwerkshow, vanaf ca. 22.00 uur, zullen de meest markante nieuwjaarswensen vertoond worden op de Kop van Java.

Wees lief voor de stad

Artifex bedacht de campagne #BeKind2019. Lichtkunstwerken in de vorm van engelen streken neer in verschillende stadsdelen en vormden een platform waar bezoekers een nieuwjaarswens konden opnemen en delen. Bij het aftelmoment werden deze nieuwjaarswensen symbolisch de lucht in gestuurd, door middel van een kunstwerk met video mapping. Uitzending door AT5 en SBS6 en andere door Artifex gegenereerde PR zorgde voor extra zichtbaarheid van de campagne.

DIEDE Made in China

maartendepaarten — Tue, 30 Apr 2019 15:15:55 +0000

For the band DIEDE “Made in China” tour Maarten van der Glas was commissioned to make a system that allowed 4 video screens to move on stage. During the set the screen were moved on stage to provide a suiting atmosphere.

The screens were in sync with the live audio set, mobile on stage and could be controlled with a controller on stage during the performance. My rol was to make a link between the Ableton Live audio set and the synced videos on screen, and program a controller for on the stage.
