Terraform TableĮstablished in 1947 to provide a platform for the flowering of the human spirit in the aftermath of the Second World War, the Edinburgh International Festival celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2017. The projection mapping by Ula Ula Productions (opens in new tab) saw silhouettes of dancing figures projected onto the building, creating an atmospheric and mesmerising piece. In Buenos Aires, celebrations saw a massive projection onto one of the capital's most famous buildings, the Palacio Barolo, which is said to be created around the concept of Dante's Divine Comedy.

To celebrate Argentina's bicentenary, there were huge parties across the country. Hosted in a vast, 10,000 square metre space, the installation is brought to life using 520 computers and 470 projectors. "Artworks move out of the rooms freely, form connections and relationships with people, communicate with other works, influence and sometimes intermingle with each other," explains the exhibition’s description.

In it, different concepts and scenes flow together to form one 'borderless' world. Japanese art collective TeamLab (opens in new tab) used projection mapping technologies to craft a magical dream world in the Digital Art Museum in Odaiba, Tokyo.
