Imagine seeing your own drawing projected in light onto Museum Hilversum or Apotheek Duker. This was possible during the Art in the Dark Festival on the Kerkbrink in Hilversum. Children from the Alberdingk Tijm College created special coloring sheets based on the museum’s facade, which were then animated and projected onto the building.
The 9th of December 2016 deputy Mayor Wimar Jeager officially activated the installation, after which visitors could see the results of the drawings animated by LiGHT-UP collective from Utrecht. The event also included exhibitions in the old post office and projections on various buildings throughout the city.
This event was made possible by the Municipality of Hilversum, Stadsfonds Hilversum, Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds Noord-Holland, and ABN AMRO Bank.
Interactive projections and light drawing technology by the LiGHT-UP collective, with animated artwork created by students from the Alberdingk Tijm College.
Part of the Art in the Dark Festival, this project aimed to engage the community in light art. Children contributed by designing drawings of the museum facade, which were animated and showcased in a dynamic projection. The event turned Hilversum’s Kerkbrink into a vibrant, interactive art space.
The LiGHT-UP collective developed a custom light drawing program that allowed visitors to create and project their own designs onto the museum and other buildings. Specially created coloring sheets by local students were animated and incorporated into the projections, turning their ideas into dynamic works of art.
The project used projection mapping technology and a custom light drawing program, enabling visitors to engage directly with the art. Supported by local cultural organizations and sponsors, the event fostered community involvement and showcased the creativity of Hilversum’s youth.
