PrintedPresence: A Project Powered by BouncyPhoton

Photography is often seen as a fast medium for conveying information, as viewers can quickly grasp the time, place, subject, and story. However, in today’s fast-paced culture, people have developed habits of skimming images, even when engaging with photographic art that should be appreciated with attention. As contributors to photo-based media, I identified key challenges in how photography is perceived and presented in physical spaces. I introduce BouncyPhoton, a system that projects visually important elements such as highlights, edges, and texture onto photographs to enhance their visual impact in physical spaces. I call this non- destructive projecting method implicit projection mapping. I discuss how implicit projection mapping can be used not just as a method of augmenting photography, but as a medium to reengage audiences with still imagery in immersive and interactive ways.

K24 CHAOS-2

K24, first staged in 2005, was built around a story of an ensemble rehearsing Romeo and Juliet. Based on the American TV drama formula, K24 was performed in six episodes, each of which lasted one hour and at the end of which kept the audience in suspense.
