The Macula (Amar Mulabegovič & Dan Gregor) (CZ)
The Macula group was established in 2007 at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (VŠUP). After their first small-scale video mapping experiences, Amar Mulabegovič and Dan Gregor were given an opportunity to create a video mapping projection for the famous Prague Clock Tower celebrating its 600
th anniversary. The triumph of this video mapping opened doors to many projects all over the world for the group and they could present their works in places like Torun, Poland, or Liverpool, United Kingdom. The greatest success so far was the SIGNAL Light Festival in Prague last October, where The Macula presented their video mapping called Khôra. Thousands of people came to see the Church of St. Ludmila clad in Platonic attire. Now the audience will have a chance to see the latest project of The Macula, a video mapping called „Spectrum“, that will animate the Church of St. Barbora in Kutná Hora as part of the CZECH THE LIGHT cultural events series.
Spectrum (lat., image as an instance of something that is seen) is an allegorical analysis of the sensation of image and of the moment enabling the innovation process. It explores manifestations of a virtual world within dedicated physical space. Silver, one of the symbols of Kutná Hora, the fundamental property of which is the ability to reflect light and to mirror reality when polished, is ideal for being connected with the Church of St. Barbora, another symbol of this town. This synthesis results in an abstract graphics approach to silver and its journey through time. By this original video-mapping, the Czech art group The Macula relates to Khôra, a very successful show of the last year’s SIGNAL Prague Light Festival.
