Projection Mapping Workshop
With Merel NoorlanderJune 12, 2024 6PM - 8:30PM
This Program focuses on the basics of projection mapping as a form of non-linear storytelling, creating playgrounds. We will be looking at the possibilities, pros, unforeseen obstacles, and other experiments in public and inner spaces with the confidence that the visuals and (non-lineair) stories will reach whoever they need to belong to. All freely accessible in public space, where we no longer rely upon a “gallery space or art studio” as the horizon of all constitutive meaning but instead as a fluid possibility for thought and practice with exchange and connection.
This will take place at BULK Space Media Lab, offering each participant the space for experimentation with their own footage. No experience is required for this workshop

Participating Artists & Collaborators:
Merel Noorlander
Merel Noorlander (they/them) is an artist, curator and educator navigating between Salt Lake City, Detroit and Amsterdam (The Netherlands), who grew up in the Red-Light District, amongst a self-chosen queer family, and captain of their boat. They investigate expanded forms of media that focus on collective empowerment within sex tech, community-based media design and participatory processes, in strong collaboration with LGBTQIA+ communities. They are interested in how storytelling can function as a guide, a tool — an instrument for pleasure, a playground for imagination right at each person’s doorstep. They currently lead a Design Research through Video & Projection Mapping at the Multi-Disciplinary Design Division (MDD), University of Utah.

The First Mirror is a Night Sky is the result of Aiko's creative efforts while in residency with Bulk Space in 2021. The book follows a young person's perspective as they navigate structures and tensions without yet having the language or context to do so. Utilizing multiple mediums including prose, visual work and poetry, the book offers a rhythmic and layered narrative.
