Thier latest mashup takes a look back over the last 60 years and features some of their favourite London musicians, films and TV shows.
They’ve used projection mapping techniques to map 26 videos over a box sculpture and perform the mashup live, blending the videos over the surface of the boxes. Created by using 3 laptops (sending OSC messages across a Wi-Fi network), 2 projectors (one for the projection mapping, one for the control surface camera), Ableton Live 8, Max for Live, Resolume Arena, Syphon and MadMapper.
The whole performance is completely portable and adaptable for easy manipulation and set-up.
