Whispering Walls: A Voice-Activated Projection Mapping Experience (Workshop)
TIME: 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM
LOCATION: Grit Studio (50 Queen St, Port Moody)
ARTIST: Tarcila Neves
Whispering Walls transforms a Port Moody structure into a living, responsive canvas. Audiences approach a standing microphone and speak, sing, or make sound — their voice's pitch and rhythm trigger real-time shifts in a projected animation, changing how the story ends. The visuals themselves come from the community: local participants' hand-drawn artwork, created in workshops leading up to the festival, is digitized and animated for the mapping. Part projection art, part public ritual, Whispering Walls turns Art Out Side's audience into co-authors of the work.
"Art Out Side asks artists to rethink where and how art happens — and that's exactly the space I love working in. Whispering Walls only exists because people show up and speak into it; the city becomes a canvas, and the audience becomes the author. I can't wait to see what Port Moody has to say."
