About the house/Media Facade

The media facede only works from 7pm to 6am. Never in the day time.

Example work

INFINITE by Liu Chang, Miao Jing, Gan Jian, 2016

“An audiovisual installation created by New York-based visual artist duo Liu Chang and Miao Jing, in collaboration with sound artist Gan Jian. The work explores the connection between time and space, discusses about spatial gravity and its influence to human’s perception. Sound and visual elements are in completely synced in order to contribute the immersive experience.” source: http://file.org.br/led_sp_2016/file-led-show-2016-6/

File Format

Works must be exported in the following formats: .mov and Animation/H264 codec. Non‐interactive works are sent to the panel via Imposa Player software installed on the Windows platform.

Mask

A mask should be applied on the work. The mask is equivalent to a two‐dimensional version of the LED panel – just like the unwrapped facade of the three sides of the building. It is important to consider, during the development of the work, that the panel is three‐dimensional: the right edge of the left side continues onto the left edge of the front area, and the left edge of the right side continues onto the right side of the front area.

Photoshop Template

Felix prepared several Photoshop templates that make it easy to test your designs. You just have to copy our layer/s into the correct folder structure. It makes sense to use the free-transform tool to warp your layer into the correct perspective.
