The Crown Fountain was designed by Spanish artist Jaume Plensa and inspired by the people of Chicago. The towers project video images from a broad social spectrum of Chicago citizens, a reference to the traditional use of gargoyles in fountains, where faces of mythological beings were sculpted with open mouths to allow water, a symbol of life, to flow out.


2) The Big Shadow project, Shibuya, Japan

The Big shadow project was created for the promotion of Blue Dragon, an X box game title. It focused on the primordial human experience of shadow-play. A person's shadow is projected as a giant shadow image, which can suddenly change into the shape of a dragon. This creates a new and engaging interactive experience.

3) The Tijuana Projection, 2001 by Krzysztof Wodiczko
at the Centro Cultural de Tijuana, Mexico

The purpose of the Tijuana Project was to use progressive technology to give voice and visibility to the women who work in the "maquiladora" industry in Tijuana. The headset was designed to be mounted on a woman head, the image of her face was then projected on the large balloon 60 feet high. The testimonial was then spoken through large speaker, focusing on a variety of issues including work related abuse, sexual abuse, family disintegration, alcoholism, and domestic violence.

5) Body Movies, by rafael lozano-hemmer

'BODY MOVIES transforms public space with 400 to 1,800 square metres of interactive projections. Thousands of photo portraits taken on the streets of the cities where the project is exhibited are shown using robotically controlled projectors. However, the portraits only appear inside the projected shadows of local passers-by, whose silhouettes measure between 2 to 25 metres high, depending on how far people were from the powerful light sources placed on the floor of the square. A custom-made computer vision tracking system triggers new portraits as old ones are revealed. With the assistance of 6 developers.'

Under scan by rafael lozano-hemmer

'UNDER SCAN is a large-scale public art project commissioned by the East Midlands Development Agency in England. Thousands of "video-portraits" taken in Derby, Leicester, Lincoln, Northampton and Nottingham will be projected onto the ground of the main squares and pedestrian thoroughfares of these cities. At first, the portraits will not be visible because the space will be flooded by white light coming from the world’s most powerful projector. As people walk around the area, their shadow will be cast on the floor, revealing the video-portraits. The short video sequences begin with the subjects in a still position turned away from the camera. As they appear within pedestrians' shadows, their bodies move and their heads turn to look straight at the pedestrian, potentially giving rise to an interesting range of interactions.'
