More 3D Sculptural Projections: Pablo Valbuena’s Augmented Sculpture

Augmented sculpture

Greetings, programs! Pablo Valbuena’s “augmented sculptures” are gorgeous … and, yes, do recall a certain ground-breaking Disney sci fi film.

It’s been a long time coming, but projection is slowly making its way out of the single, flat rectangle that so often constrains it. (Not that we don’t love single, flat rectangles, of course.) The idea itself isn’t new, but artists are becoming increasingly interested in creating sculptural, three-dimensional projections. We saw Joanie Lemercier’s gorgeous Light Sculptures. Here’s another example of three-dimensional projections:

Doesn’t look like much in still photos; in the video, it comes alive:

And for another video example, here’s antivj’s Light Sculptures in action:

nice stuff ! thanks, Peter.
I’d like to see more of this type of work here. It would be great to feature the technical side of this, although my guess is that these artists aren’t going to share that. Its beautiful thinking.
