Solo - Projection Mapping

Abstract or Summary

Projection Artists Luke McConnell and Jordan Foster will project a multicoloured lightshow onto the clockface, roof and walls of St Peter’s Cathedral. Wintec Tutors McConnell & Foster plan to transform the Hamilton night skyscape this Christmas with their projection work entitled ‘SOLO’. Solo is a piece designed to complement the Victoria street Christmas revellers taking in the sights of the Garden Place Christmas tree and the Trees at the Meteor art exhibition. One seamless image across the surface of the building by linking three powerful 7k projectors. The animation will interact with the forms of the building with a particular focus on the clock tower - which should be visible from quite a distance. The projected animation invites the viewer to think about the connections that we make during this busy Christmas season. Hamiltonians too get caught up on the silly season and rarely get a chance to stop and think. ‘Solo’ will encourage people to think about how they can better connect with others in their community. The animation will run for about 5 minutes and will loop over the evening.
