Where does reality end and begin? Projection mapping is shifting the boundaries
In Box, the San Francisco-based design boutique Bot & Dolly uses robotics and projection-mapping technology, which allows for complex light displays on irregular surfaces, to create an augmented digital reality. Set to an engrossing, visceral soundtrack, the incredible live performance is a 21st-century exploration of space and movement.
Director: Bot & Dolly
Producer: Julia Gottlieb
