Image projection as an architectural design tool
Resumen
The modern viewer is familiar with the cinematic paradigm, in which he or she is fixed in a darkened auditorium. However, current audio-visual technologies introduce new viewing modes. This article explores the spatial properties of the projection system (projector, screen surface, projection beam and the viewer), during the transition from analogue to digital technology, with paradigms from the 1960s’ expanded cinema to current multimedia installations, in particular works defined as digitally expanded cinema. Our aim is to explore how the projection space can be combined with architectural space, using expanded cinema design principles. © 2017 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
