Glitchy Windows

In collaboration and based on Ramiro Polla‘s project, FFglitch* & FK.
Liège, October 2024 – La nocturne des Coteaux (The Night of the Hillsides)

Interactive video mapping glitched by pedestrians

This year, the Liège Hackerspace was not invited to propose a project for « La nocturne des Coteaux ». Not a big deal. Along with another member of the hackerspace, we decided to hack the event from the windows of an apartment**.

The setup isn’t the most polished, but it works for the night.

Four projectors, mounted on laser-cut supports, project onto windows covered with paper. An HDMI video wall box splits the image into four parts. A webcam, placed on the windowsill, captures the movements of pedestrians.

Thanks

For providing the projectors:
