Mappathon is a 3-day projection mapping marathon workshop, followed by an art installation exhibited and open to the public. Learn the latest projection mapping techniques and technologies and then collaborate to create a final advanced site-specific project.

Participants will learn the latest technology for mapping video projections onto physical surfaces, incorporating multiple surfaces and shapes and moving away from the traditional confines of the screen to sculptures and building facades. The goal of the workshop is to create several projection mapping installations with or without interactivity, where the participants create content for complex surfaces through collaboration. At the end of the workshop, participants will showcase their work to the public.

The students will learn the many aspects involved in the O -1 visa petition process. The first stage of the workshop focuses on selecting the material and ideas to be presented to the attorney; you will become familiar with key terminology used in the process. For instance, how prepare a CV using the standards required for the application, and how elaborate a solid and organized recollection of experiences and achievements.
