Sense and the City: City as a Canvas

So last night I attended the city as a canvas talk at London Transport Museum where Usman Haque, Kevin Brown (Brothers and Sisters) and Sam Hoey (Jason Bruges Studio) talking about the city as a canvas:

Increasingly new technologies such as projection mapping, augmented reality and geo-tagging are being used to transform public and private city spaces. Artists and industry leaders from the worlds of art, architecture and advertising present and discuss imaginative digital interventions, which embroider, invade and subvert urban surfaces

Some really great presentations and even better work, a reminder for me that this is where I want to be working, and the types of work I want to create. Some of my favourite works below:

TXTual Healing

UVA: Triptych

Jason Bruges Studio: Platform 5

Usman Haque: Primal Scream

Alot of the work that is in progress sounded great to, especially Jason Bruges studio, race against Usain Bolt for the Olmypic stadium.

Here is a great little review of the talk: http://www.chrisunitt.co.uk/2011/10/sense-and-the-city-the-city-as-a-canvas/
