Color by Light

Colour by Light is an emmesive participtaory light installation where the audience use a torch or their phone light to paint the streets with light. Floating Pictures has since 2016 had the great pleasure and honor to show Colour by Light at Lumiere, the UK's biggest light festival with over a million visitors in London and Durham as well as in Paris, Stockholm and Gothenburg.

Coded Visuals

Interactive and participatory light art installation using layers of images which is 'erased' by the audience using their mobile torch lights. The piece was presented as part of the opening of the new Comfort Hotel in Kista, north Stockholm. The hotel was opened by Petter Stordalen and project was a collaboration between Floating Pictures, Digital Art Center and communications bureau Manifest

Laser Graffiti

Lasergraffiti is an interactive fasad projection event created by Floating Pictures and Digital Art Center for KUL1415, Year of Culture for children, in February 2015 in partnership with the City of Stockholm. Children from all over the city came to the KUL house at Stockholm City Museum to paint the 17th century building with laser pointers.

Floating Pictures Video Art Festival

Floating Pictures Video Art Festival took place on Riddarholmen, in central Stockholm. For the event 29 meter sailing ship Maria Sofia was turned into a light installation and outdoor cinema for video art, animation and short film. Realized with the support of the City of Stockholm and Haven Concept Media Technology.

Wall Poetry

To mark the Nobel prize in litterature we wanted to explore childrens relationship to poetry and litterature through ICT-based visualization in the public space.
The result was an facad projection exhibition of childrens illustrations of Swedish Nobel prize winner Thomas Tranströmer's haiku poems as well as the childrens own poetry on the walls opposite the Nobelmuseum in Stockholm. Supported by the City of Stockholm and Svenska Kyrkan

Ice Paint Sickla

Floating Pictures, in collaboration with Atrium Ljungberg and Futurniture, had the great pleasure to introduce Ice Paint, where hundreds of children had the opportunity to scate and equiped with helmets with lights on could color the ice rink.

Barnens Nobel

Teachers and children from all over Stockholm were invited to interpret the discoveries in Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Economics and Peace. The children's images and own ideas were then compiled into an audiovisual facade projection exhibition. The purpose was to let children feel ownership of the scientific and social science issues that the Nobel Prize is about. The project was supported by the Nobel Museum, the City of Stockholm and Stockholm University.

Wall of Futures

In the Wall of Futures project, Floating Pictures, in collaboration with schools and preschools throughout Sweden, are highlighting children's voices and reflections on the environment, climate change and the future. We do this through large-scale facade projections in the public space.
The visual and audion material created by the children is reworked into facade projections by a group of artists and video mapping designers within Floating Pictures.

Trace of Light

Trace of Light is a collaborative project between a dancer, a textile designer, a light artist and the development studio at Digital Art Center at Stockholm University.
The project explores how the dancer’s movements can create light visuals through light-based real-time optical tracking in the scenic space. Trace of Light explores how different motion patterns correspond to the light lines that are created and how the choreography dictates specific light patterns with specific movements.

Trace Evidence

As acontinuation and development of Trace of Light we created Trace Evidence, an exploratory choregraphic performance using interactive light, imagary and sound scapes as scenography. We took as point of departure the term Trace Evidence from criminology meaning 'any type of evidence occurring in sizes so small that it can be transferred or exchanged between two surfaces without being noticed.' The project was financed by Kulturbryggan, Konstnärsnämnden

Paint the City

Paint the City is an interactive digital art project in collaboration with schools and preschools. The project's objective is to move children's creative expressions in the private digital sphere (the screen of a computer or phone) out into the urban environment. We do this with projection technology and interactive media
The project investigates how the physical urban space can be turned into a digital drawing board for creative expression.

Marys trådar

At the end of the 19th century, the mathematician Mary Everest Boole used taut threads to illustrate various mathematical relationships. 'Mary's trådar' is a choreographic performance based on Mary's mathematical didactics on a journey through 70s geometric wire paintings, computer graphics and Naum Gabo's constructivist sculptures. With interactive optical tracking and coded visualization, mathematical and geometric relationships are investigated through the dancer's movements.
