DOYou can projection map at home. Here’s how 👇
I turned my living room into a gallery for the night using projection mapping
What I used:
Projector: @benq.uk 3100i Gaming Projector
Honestly more powerful than you need for something like this… I bought it for gaming and movies and this though.
For projection mapping on art, you could get away with something much more affordable.
Software: @mad_mapper - Industry standard for projection mapping. Lets you map individual zones around each frame so you’re projecting light and animation onto the objects. They offer a free demo to try first and you can pay for just a month too.
Ambient lighting: @nanoleaf Matter corner light
If you’re thinking about trying this, here’s what to look for in a projector:
Lumens: 2000+ for a dim room, 3000+ if you want flexibility with ambient light
Resolution: 1080p is plenty, though the one in this video is 4K and is amazing.
Throw ratio: Check this matches your room size. short-throw projectors work better in smaller spaces
Connectivity: HDMI minimum, wireless is a bonus for cleaner setup
Lens shift/keystone: Makes positioning easier when you’re not ceiling-mounting
You don’t need to spend a fortune.
Entry-level projectors around £300-400 can do this.
The art featured (all worth exploring):
@smugone — St Mungo print. Glasgow-based photorealistic muralist
@dotto_studio — “Not Yet But” print
@conzothrob — “Peachy.” Brilliantly weird
@eastsidestudio_london — “DAMN” print. #projectionmapping #madmapper #projectionmappingart
