The international festival of audiovisual projections Genius Loci Weimar has recently launched the third video mapping contest with a total of 45,000 Еuro in prize money.
The contest demands an individual, original and sophisticated handling of the spirit of the location with respect to history and architecture, as well as to the people who were active there and who have influenced the surroundings.
