N Building is a commercial building near Tachikawa station. The facade is a static QR code. When viewed through an iPhone app, characters appear, store information and live Tweets from people inside the building. From the designers: “Our proposed vision of the future is one where the facade of the building disappears, showing those inside who want to be seen.”

This is another main peace of Illuminating York in year 2014, taking place onto the Crown Court Building at the end of October. The theme for the 2014 festival was Leading Lights, which uncovered the rich history and future innovation and discovery in the city of York.
Hidden Worlds was by Seeper, a leading group that have worked in digital projection for more than 15 years. It was inspired by York’s own John Snow, the 19th century physician who not only discovered how cholera spread, but also went on to pioneer the use of anaesthetics – saving countless lives and misery for those undergoing surgery.

Usman Haque and his studio Haque Design+Research has been doing great works in interactive architecture. Marling is a mass-participation interactive urban spectacle, and was projected in a public square in Eindhoven, Netherlands. This is the raw recording video; sounds and footprints in it are all real.
In the piace, the voices of citizens are formed as an interactive ceiling of dynamic color. People come and play in this game, and collaboratively build a spectatle that will hopefully last long even after the event finished.

This piece offers a portrait of the inner personality of the Hirshhorn Museum, a modern art museum located in close proximity to the National Mall and federal government buildings in Washington D.C. The gun and the candle seem to indicate violence and religious sensation, as the microphones are reminiscent of a press conference, of many channels for one voice and correspondingly high volume. This piece may well be considered as a portrait of America.

“Ut Rosa Flos Florum, sic est Domus Ista Domorum”(As the rose is the flower of flowers, so is this the house of houses) The piece is shown onto the South Transept of York Minster for the 2010 Illuminating York Festival. Over the four days of the installation, “Rose” had 65,000 visitors.
The piece was a meditation on the meaning of Rose in collaboration with Karen Monid.
“Rose” was divided into four sections. The first concentrated on the rose as symbol of Yorkshire, complete with Latin inscription taken from the Cathedral’s chapter house and sounds bring Yorkshire’s wild nature to life. The second section, “Rose Garden” combined love poetry spoken by local volunteers with images of climbing rose trees. This then led into “Mary”, which combined images of the Virgin Mary with an extract of the York Minster choir singing “Magnificat Septimi Toni” by Lassus. The final part was a study of perfection, both mathematical and tonal as glass sounds accompanied stained glass imagery and geometrical shapes and patterns.

The collective also performed at shows and clubs, including collaborative improvisations where multiple artists add layers to the projections. In this example, one artist is finding and manipulating images from the internet that match the music, another is running a program generating the geometric images and another is drawing:
