Impulse 101 by Anthony Antonellis is a diptych, half painting/half beamer, 100% on the internet. The work begins with the 4 foundational font characters of 8-bit Block ASCII, ░ ▒ ▓ █. It consists of two 100 x 100 cm canvases. The left (black) side is acrylic on canvas, while the right counterpart is a beamer projection of ASCII art animations utilizing real and faux copy paste glitches in MS WordPad.
“These images were produced by direct, large format, light projection. The projector, powered by a mobile generator, was moved from site to site. All of the pieces were photographed at night using long exposures. On moonless nights, the landscape was lit with searchlights. The landforms themselves are quite large, requiring the projector and camera to be, on average, 1/2 mile away from the subject landscape.”

PPP (Permanent Play Project) introduces Tsumiki - a new way to play with toy blocks. Various images are projected onto the toy blocks depending on how you stack and place them.
SideBySide by Disney Research is a novel interactive system that allows multiple people to play and work together using handheld projectors at anytime and anyplace. The system is immediate and simple: users simply project onto a surface and their projection becomes aware and responsive to other projections nearby.
Annorstädes by Tania Ruiz Gutiérrez is a multi-projection video art work which seeks to transform the reinforced concrete landscape of the Malmö C underground station into a wide open space.
“Through a projection device that evokes the perceptual experience from the train, the viewers will be invited to lose themselves in images during their wait. The projections acting as windows, the station itself becomes a train that loses its spatial and temporal rails, itinerant across the earth.”
“The project is still in the early stages, and researches will soon begin testing the unit on users to gauge their reactions to interacting with a floating, disembodied head. Already, Hiroaki says that his colleagues have described the experience as “very strange.”
