Holovortex is an idea by video artist Paco Gramaje, who has worked for years in the field of videomapping, specifically dancemapping. The main objective of this installation is to bring the two-dimensional projections into a three-dimensional environment for performative shows.
The installation consists mainly of a metal structure in the shape of a cone on which a tulle is placed that surrounds its entire surface. In the upper ring of the structure, 4 projectors are strategically located to cover the entire projection surface.
Holovortex is an installation designed for the performing arts, offering 360 visual content for shows or events that seek an immersive experience for the audience. In its first occasion, it was applied in the field of dance, although it can also be easily adapted to live music or theater.
Our contribution to the project included the creation of the script and storyboard for the show, the search for music, and the design and development of all visual content. Holovortex saw the light of day for the first time in Porto on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the Groz-Beckert company in Portugal.
