You know what, watching first half was extremely boring, I was about to write about it BUT when second half started I took all my thoughts back – this is unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing!

To watch this fresh new marriage between Motion Graphics and Architecture is truly inspiring. It was only a few years ago – when the beginnings of the courtship where infantile – that you would hear of, see, or read tutorials about “digital tags,” being projected onto buildings, and now, to see the joining of the two exist together so harmoniously is (hopefully) a sign of things to come.

On an economic note, I see this as a huge opportunity for cities who are looking to develop, or attract visitors/tourism (after all, look at Time Square). Architecture itself is becoming the new signage, where what once where just walls, now function as screen space. Amazing!

Quadrature is a audio/visual performance project by Griduo* in collaboration with Due3* that interacts with the perception of santralistanbul Art and Culture Center’s Main Gallery building located in Istanbul/Turkey. It shows how audio/visual techniques can transform, create, expand, amplify and interpret spaces by using large scale video projections on architecture.

It is a live audio/visual performance composed of animated monochrome geometrical shapes matching the real size and form of the quadrilateral alluminium modules which form the facade of the building. The visual performance is accompanied with a digitally produced soundscape consisting of abstract sounds synchronized to the movement of images re-shaping and transforming the building on which they are projected. The building in turn influences and transforms the projections as well.

*Griduo is formed of Alican Aktürk and Refik Anadol both graduate students and teaching assistants in İstanbul Bilgi University Visual Communication Design. Working in the fields of live video/audio performance and architectural photography, the duo is particularly interested in the relationship between architecture and media.

I agree! Who could have foreseen that these buildings would become a canvas for a new work of art? This new reinvention of existing architecture through nondestructive urban communication is fantastic! I think Liz Diller said it best, “Aside from keeping the rain out and producing some useful space, architecture nothing but a special effects machine.”

Special effects machine, indeed!

The builders of the castle could never have perceived how it’s walls would be used centuries after it was completed, that’s what strikes me about this.
