Projection mapping, although arguably done to death by a swathe of brands, is still capable of generating impressive spectacles on a massive scale. However, size isn’t everything, as this rather beautiful 1:1000 scale musical projection map goes to prove. Tokyo City Symphony is a micro music installation designed to celebrate the 10th anniversary of exclusive building complex Roppongi Hills, which can be played as a virtual instrument online. Users choose between Future City, Rock City and EDO City to create visual soundscapes by selecting letters on their keyboard, with the results able to be shared across a variety of social networks.
What is particularly clever about this use of mapping is how it side-steps the more obvious 'large scale event to viral video' application, converting the elements of the projection into an interactive, shareable music creation experience online.
