A conversation with 2011 TED Prize Winner: JR

via tedprize.org

I love his work. His large scale images of faces, eyes, shifting the perspectives where they are displayed. Love also that he refers to himself as a “photograffeur” (graffeur is French for graffiti artist.) Very curious to hear his TED wish and even more curious to see how they handle his presentation during TED 2011 since he is anonymous.

The 600 Years Building Video Projection

Mapping during 600 years anniversary of the astronomical tower clock situated at Old Town Square in center of Prague. Concept and animations by The Macula (Amar Mulabegović, Dan Gregor) Coworking animators: Michal Kotek Lukáš Duběda Sound: data-live (www.data-live.cz) Production: Tomato Production (www.tomatoproduction.cz)

via vimeo.com

Lately we've seen many great examples of video projections and this one is particularly good. The one thing that I've yet to see anyone mention is how important sound design is to these projections. Without good sound design this would not be able to have any context.
