Tagtool Bike at the Paseo Festival 2016
OMAi teamed up with VJ Suave for the Paseo Festival in Taos, New Mexico, and took the Tagtool bike for a ride.
The Paseo is a festival that brings art installations and performances to the streets of Taos, New Mexico. For the 2016 edition, OMAi collaborated with VJ Suave, the media arts duo based in São Paulo.
For the two festival days on September 23rd and 24th, the artists Ygor Marotta, Maki Dorninger and Matthias Fritz roved around the historic town using a projection bike. They engaged the public using a mix of animated characters and site-specific collaborative projection paintings.
Moving sequences, where flying or walking characters slide across the town’s surfaces, alternated with more stationary multiplayer painting sessions. The historic adobe architecture of Taos turned out to be a perfect canvas.
