After the brilliant Vídeo Guerrilha lit up Rua Augusta last month, it seems video mapping is the talk of the town. This party at Memorial da América Latina wraps up a week of workshops on this sophisticated projection technique, which ‘maps’ 3D surfaces and then projects carefully tailored images back over a building’s contours to create astonishing visual effects (read more about the explosion of video mapping in São Paulo).
The Memorial da América Latina, one of the city’s architectural landmarks, was designed in the 1980s by Oscar Niemeyer and comprises a complex of angular buildings built around two squares, spanning an area of over 80,000 square metres. All of which makes this one of the city's most exciting blank canvasses for the artists – German group UrbanScreen, Spanish group Telenokia and international collective United VJs – to project their colourful creations.
At a party where the lighting is the main draw, it’s easy to forget about the music. But the soundtrack to the evening will be a big draw, too, mixed by local DJ Tahira, followed by American DJ and producer Larry ‘Can You Feel It’ Heard.
