LIGHTING GUERRILLA LABORATORY

LIQUID LIGHT & ARCHITECTURAL MAPPING As part of the Art & Puppets project, lead by CTA Gorizia, we are organizing free workshop in which we will immerse ourselves in the world of analogue light and projection techniques and explore creative possibilities with overhead projectors. The focus will be on liquid light and analogue architectural mapping – two experimental approaches that allow light, material, movement and space to be experienced directly and haptically. mentors: Laurenz Theinert & Andrej Štular

Based on the liquid light technique that emerged in the 1960s, we will work with glass plates, coloured liquids, oils and pigments. By mixing, layering and moving, we will create live moving light images with organic forms, flowing structures and surprising colour spaces. Each projection is unique and ephemeral – an interplay of control and chance. Building on this, we transfer the analogue projections onto the space itself. We analyse the existing architecture and develop space-related projections using transparencies, masks, stencils, drawings and objects. Shapes, edges and surfaces are specifically illuminated and transformed into living light images through superimposition, movement and manual animation, reinterpreting the space. The workshop teaches basic techniques for working with overhead projectors, light sources and materials, as well as an understanding of light, colour, transparency, movement and spatial perception. The focus is on collaborative experimentation and an open creative process. Finally, the resulting works will be displayed in a joint presentation.
