Strukt was asked by Büro Hirzberger to develop an idea on how to add a very special gimmick to the 100 Jahre österreichische Krebshilfe gala-night. This charity event took place in the beautiful setting of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and the only restriction given to us was the budget. Everyone worked for free so we couldn’t ask for too much equipment and that’s why we decided that one projector has to be more than enough to create something special. |

After thinking about different places to set up our installation, the main stage caught our attention. There were plans to build big letters out of styrofoam as a static backdrop. We liked the idea but in our opinion, something was missing and so we decided to augment it with a little mapping-magic. We recreated the letters in vvvv and developed a system to separate the front-side of the letters from the background on which they were mounted. This way we had two different surfaces that could be textured independently. We designed a few simple effects and during the evening we used them in different combinations to create a constantly changing look of the main stage. Without being a distraction from the glamorous architecture and the calm dinner-atmosphere, it certainly was an eye catcher that provided the right backdrop for the official parts of the evening.
