and if I offered you a system that
could allow you to draw on
any wall on any
surface without needing to clean
after and if I give you a wall
over 6000 square feet on which
you could express yourself freely
Well, I’m announcing today that
this project exists there I do them 16
last June on the west facade of the
large theater a facade about 6000
square feet
I was with a youth gang and
of professional artists think years on
did giant drawings during
about 1h30 of time in front of more than 200
people
so how does nina locke how do we
got there and although you believe yourself
that they can
how did we get there and well
me the first time I had this
idea of making a gesture of graffiti
a digital performance is ya
many years back then
began to be interested in
architectural video projection and I
went out with a girl who was interested
to graffiti so I had the idea of
mixing the two graffiti headlights
architectural thanks to the technologies of
video projection it stayed under
form this mourning for several years
until last fall I was in
meeting with some of my
employees of my young company
art and technology interference
we came across a call for tenders from
the cultural development agreement
between the ministry the culture and the
city of Quebec was called graffiti and
tags digital and graffiti tags
virtual exclusively so let’s keep this
what is the sought-after city with this
project there was to bring young people
to take an interest in their heritage
architectural from a project
digital arts
so my idea of merging graffiti and
architecture falls exactly in this
that they were looking for I had so
good bases to offer them a great
project there was a small problem
however, we have seen the call
of tenders a little late there
it’s barely a week to file
except that I quickly realized
that it was not really a problem
because through my years
Experience in the arts
and technologies I knew how to develop
a network of craftsmen artists
professionals and enthusiasts he
I do not like it
day show a strong team
then the next day we went
encountered we developed a super
project it looked like the tender and
we had the funding once we
use financing it must be realized the
project and that was quite a challenge
to give you an idea of the beginning of the
project upon receipt of funding
until the final event on June 16
on the big theater
it has been about five months in
these five words the eye had to invent the
system the program and make it
to help me in this task
I appealed to Alexander that here who
is a programmer who has a lot
experience in artistic project
then you have to do a research
in depth on the heritage of the
city of quebec to help me in this
task
I appealed to dominique which zilina
is a museologist and specialist in
digital
then you have to develop everything
the cultural mediation aspect with the
young people for this part I appealed
at nathalie side which is a mural
is passionate about this graffiti since she
really does a lot of
projects with young people for us has
helped recruit young people
we do not work with joseph school
françois perrault in downtown
quebec and finally it takes him
organize the event at big
deployment with all that
involves technical logistics and
management of human resources and for
help me I appealed to marie lise
win who is a young reader of
production from quebec
so the first element that can him
to do is to develop the system
digital
I have here with me the famous cane is
digital that I developed me
even in my workshop
so how does it work is that if
we have an infrared led that is captured
by a camera here then the computer
four camera images and can
analyze
he is able to position the can and
the can in space is onyx y
are sent to a computer that
do this drawing you will excuse me I you
turn your back for a moment to
the demonstration
so as you can see my cursor
am my movement in space
we hope to know what is going on
allows to make a graffiti on
a separate wall with movements
in the air here
so here I used the projector
video of tedx quebec while the 16
last June it was the wall of fat
something super theater
important that I have you about this
project there is that the whole
software development and bobbin
is under free license right that that
means that anyone here in the
room that had the will can
build his graffiti system
digital at home because
the whole code then all of the
diagrams of the can are available
free on the internet
it’s super important for interference
to develop projects like that
because we believe that art is
made to be shared to develop
projects free of rights that we
ensures that as many people as possible
the water who have access to these tools there
our super important element of the
project it was all the aspect of
patrimonial research not necessary
forget that this was the case of the project
to bring young people to know more
their architectural heritage for their
show that the archer heritage is
not just old buildings actually
the heritage is you it’s me
we who all together by our
historical and symbolic belonging to
some buildings that’s what creates
the patrimony
so after several hours of
research
dominique grouse arrived with a
choice of 23:10 heritage son it’s
and 23 are here that they have
formed the basis of the creation of
digital graffiti we did with
young people
So when I cross the workshops of
projects the water to nathalie she was
super packed right away as a result
given the potential of the device the
first thing that asked me if we
would be able to project on the complex
play from the lower town i
said yes nathalie it’s technically
possible but I also said we
would not have the means for this
year so that’s our nathalie
took care of all the workshops
that young people and all of the
artistic direction of the project during
workshops for the theory
heritage the theory on the
graffiti
we did graffiti practice
real with the real painting of the inked
outside and then we did some
practice indoors with
the video projector so graffiti
with light where does the name come from
of the project anchored light
then to finish these workshops one
does not end with an intense weekend
and of creation we are in the laboratory
new image technologies
are and stage at the university
laval since we had access to a more
big video projector and a bigger one
wall that for two days of time there
had a workshop that young people who
creates the show while anxander
and I was right and then increased
the software capabilities that at each
time we go buy something we
add them and update them
natal computers use these new
additions there to continue in creation
it was a super nice dynamic of
creation throughout this end of
week then has it June 16th happens
technical side is ecc6 projector
20000 human video a system of
are powerful and highlighting
complete site
the technique was ready the audience is
at the rendezvous the dj was ready us
others with young artists on
was ready so the show has
started I told you at the beginning of my
presentation that had lasted
about an hour and a half is fine for
we in the excitement of the moment during
the stress of doing it during
the achievement naked the impression that
it lasts and I can 15 20 minutes big
maximum then after the performance the
young people were super proud were
super happy with what they had
accomplished
the first thing that told us
is knowing if they were being
next night except that unfortunately
the anchored light project was beautiful and
well done though the device of
digital graffiti it still exists
then this is one of the missions that I
gives with interference to bring it
further to see what can we
do with this system there because
it’s a system that really answers
well to both main missions
of interference ie the
production and demand
the democratization of work that
integrates arts and technology
thank you very much
[Applause]
