Media Art @ Amsterdam Light Festival | 2013-2014

The Dark Side of Amsterdam is an interactive installation that was presented at the Amsterdam Light Festival 2013-2014. The citizens of Amsterdam were asked to reflect on their sins. Visitors would choose custom made glow-in-the-dark glasses that corresponded with their worst sin, and were asked to enter ‘the confession booth’ where a semi-anonymous long exposure portrait was taken. The portraits were projected onto the Moses & Aaron Church in real time, accompanied by visuals that depict a sin. During the 3 day installation there were more than 400 visitors who confessed their sins.

Project Presentation at BEAMLAB 2014 event where the project won the Audience Award.

In collaboration with mediaLABamsterdam, Frouke ten Velden, Excelsior Visuals
