Workshop · MAP ON MASK

The workshop, which will run on LABoral Industrial Art and Creation Centre, is aimed to be a space to link playfulness and video mapping research.

During 4 days, the students will explore new techniques for software, electronics, LED lighting, video mapping and interactive installations – all in one place.

The workshop will be taught by Mike Latona, aka Los Hermanos, visual artist, VJ, mapper, painter and graphic designer. In 2013 he joined the Mapping Festival (Geneva) team to develop stage designs as well as curating exhibitions and activities. He is also responsible for the Bam Festival (Lièje) and MapMap, open software and video mapping developed in collaboration with Alexandre Quessy and Sofían Audry
