Unveil at Kristiinankatu 1 on New Year's Eve by United VJ's

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



The 3D piece Unveil, created by means of video mapping, will bring the rich shapes of the Art Nouveau building to life with lights, colours and a variety of moving patterns and figures. Digital technology and art are used to create strong visual and optical illusions and their impact is further emphasised with electronic music that echoes the rhythms of the piece. The ten-minute work was shown four times on New Year's Eve at 6 pm, 8 pm, 10 pm and 11:30 pm in Turku, Finland.
