INTRO
RADIX at the International Mapping Festival Girona, July 2016, where it received the Object Mapping Award.
FIMG, in its third edition, ran from 22 to 24 July 2016 under the theme “SCAPES”: landscapes, soundscapes, datascapes (FIMG 2016). At its core was a juried competition in five categories, Professional, Amateur, Micromapping, Educative and Instant, with 11 prizes worth more than €28,000 and three more voted by the audience (competition call).

Judged against other object mappings
Small scale, tight registration
Four months after the Frankfurt premiere
Micromapping is the category for projection onto objects at small scale, where image and form have to meet precisely. RADIX, a XENORAMA work, won it. The root's spatial shape was captured through 3D scanning and extended with 3D-printed polygon elements, so the projected imagery is built directly onto the object's own form; in an ongoing play of light and sound, the piece moves from its natural, organic shape toward a technical one.
