DESIGN NAME: Interconnection
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Projection Mapping
INSPIRATION: Creators of the artistic piece were aiming to draw from contemporary visionary art and architecture, sacred geometry, even physics and chemistry to turn the Palace of Parliament into a vibrant, endlessly beautiful scenery of our symbolic dialogue. Integrating the facade's architectural characteristics into the artwork was also a key element in the concept adding an extra value to the conversation between artist and audience, the city and its citizens.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: No mapping cliches but storytelling unique 3D animation content combined with 15 years of experience in the technology of building projection. The amazingly vivid piece entitled Interconnection was projected onto the building of the Romanian Parliament -the second largest administrative building in the world after the Pentagon- in front of 40.000 viewers.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: According to the creators, Limelight, the projection mapping shows the interconnectedness of all things from micro to macro as well as the outer and the inner universe. Conjuring emotions and feelings, the amazing display of color, light and sound aims to reopen the dialogue between the internal and the external, through a cinematic journey from the state of separation to the state of eternal openness. It also incorporates the building itself as part of the spectacle, animating parts of it in a dizzying vortex of motion that plays with the viewer’s senses.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: It was projected at iMapp Bucharest international Video Mapping Competition in 2016.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The artwork is created by integrating the architectural characteristics of the building into the 3d animation content. By using the 3d model of the building and projecting it back onto the facade our 3d projection mapping artwork is not only an animation projected onto a facade but in our case the building is a very important element of the artwork just as the story and the music.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The project mapping piece that took 2.5 months to create, uses 104 video projectors, clocking over 1 million ANSI lumens, is special because it not only covers the 23.000 m2 surface of the Romanian Parliament, but it also incorporates the building itself as part of the spectacle, animating parts of it in a dizzying vortex of motion that plays with the viewer’s senses.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We utilized research finding about the buildings history and its architecture and as well researched sacred geometry as one of the main design elements of the artwork.
CHALLENGE: The upper part of the building is 50 meters behind the lower part and due to that fact motives projected onto both parts can get distorted easily. In addition to that the audience was not only watching it from the front angle but many people were also standing on the sides and we had to create the artwork in a way that its visible for everyone and no distortions appear for the viewers. We needed all our expertise to achieve that in a way that we had no possibility to do any tests on site we had to design everything in a way that we could only see our content a night before the show and had no any chance to correct anything in it so it had to be perfect.
