Welcome to Illuminated Visions 2024
We are so excited to welcome you at Cypress College on April 18th, from 7PM-10PM. Illuminated Visions is a projection mapping show, displaying art from video artists from around the world. Projection mapping is an augmented reality field, where artists design their work based on the shape of architectural shapes.
One of the great places to see projection mapping is the Castle in Disneyland, where each night the building is transformed into a magical place by animation and motion design. The same way Illuminated Visions artists are transforming our brutalist architecture by projecting their art visions on the surfaces. This event is completely free, family friendly and open to the public.

THE ORGANIZERS:
Cypress College Media Arts Design is the first department offering education in projection mapping among the community colleges in the country. Though projection mapping is well known in other parts of the world, it is just gaining recognition in the USA, specially in the West-Coast. We organized this event to promote this creative field and to bring the magic of projection mapping to the public. Please see our website to learn more about what we offer on a community college budget for anyone who wants to learn. If you wish to see student work, take a look at this website for specific examples in motion and projection design as well as visual development.
