For the Architecture Week the do-group initiated a one night event / instalation at a night club venue in Shoredich - East London with the theme URBANITE.

URBANITE aims to create a virtual space throught projected images and film, Reflecting the diversity and mixtures of metropolitan cultures and architectures that make up London's heterogeneous urbanity in a space that embodies cultural mix and fusion.

THREEDIMENSIONAL PROJECTION

movements, rhythms, time lapses...

Neutral captured movement as the essence of London in their cinematic analysis of public spaces. Traffic nodes, train journeys, vehicular movements, people walking - everything is in a constant flux.

This is further elaborated by speeding up and slowing down the various sequences.

Projected from either end of the room opposite one another, the images flicker through the whole space, caught on the screens that meander rhythmically in-between.

The screens are covered with bands of semitransparent film - acting as surfaces capturing the images while at the same time filtering partial images through to the other side. The panels in the middle present a blend of images from either side, embodying notions of colours and movements. The experience conveys an ever-changing degree of intensities within the spaces.
