As a subgenre of streetart the term "tapeart" is used for creating complex outline shapes by the use of ducktape. The follwing samples show different setups where I have added a thrid dimension to the taped 2d silhouettes by mapping projection.

Once the outlines are taped, the rebuilding process of the matching visual surfaces is following in a second step.

Each polygon comes to live by using it as a partial cutout from the projection, additionally retracing the lines live with animated line drawings gives tapeart the extra to be become an outstanding interactive artpiece.

The interactive robotic AV-installation SONIC DEGREES OF FREEDOM was exhibited @Ars Electronica Festival 2016. We used the KUKA IWAA robot as the centerpiece of this installation. The robots seven axis movements produce varying current-consumption. The different tensions are transferred to an analogue…

TWO DEERS Installation @PLAYGROUND AV FESTIVAL, Vienna 2017

Two deer 3D polygon shapes interact witheachother just by projection. The installation on a size of 6m x 2m was taped and mapped within a day. Recordings from the final mapping-projections where then recorded and cutted into a seamless loop so the installation was ready to run as standalone multimedia-artpiece within the full Festivals program.

THE ROBOT- POLYGON TAPEART WITH 3D MAPPING

Studio installation

Working with a 3D polygon from the beginning allows realtime shadow recreation, line-redrawing-effects and intuitive content-changes within the mapping. The background can be transformed from black to fullframe animations and allows a lot of variations inside and outside of the wall-taped artpiece.

THE PYRAMID - 2D TAPEART BECOMES 3D MAPPING

Studio installation 

A simple structure of taped lines later on allows an optical illusion created by mapping projection. The multimedia installation can adapt any content and additional the outline-animation-paths are live- transformable with the use of a midi-mixer.
