Gravitational painting (Gravitacijsko slikanje) is a contemplative light projection, co-created by the audience and the gravitational force. The artists have created an interactive device and interface between the audience and a building. This device reproduces the building in a miniature form and allows the audience to pour real colour on the building and its façade. The gravitational force draws the colour slowly towards the bottom of the façade creating abstract colour lines.

The artists use the technique of video mapping to perfectly recreate the shape of the building and in this way create a perfect connection between the real and the projected colour. Anyone can co-create the image of the moving colours, giving it its own imprint.

Let’s paint the Cankarjev dom!

The Lighting guerilla festival will feature the premiere performance of this interactive projection of a large format in real time.
