Replication
People walk past the wall and find themselves projected on it in a grid of delayed
videos; each newly appearing video copying the previous one (Fig. 3). Slowly, the
influence and domination of the West is shown with an increasing number of logos
which progressively overwhelm and cover the person and the scenery. The drama
revolves around the idea that China is replicating the West, to create the awareness of
the western culture creating a new patina on top of the Chinese culture.

Strijp-T-ogether
Strip T is an old industrial area rebuilt to accommodate and foster creative industries.
However there is hardly any social interaction among people from different compa-
nies. Strijp-T-ogether is designed to stimulate the social interaction with a mobile
application and a projection in the main entrance hall (
Fig. 4
). The photo of a space is
used on the mobile as the background and an addition can be made by drawing or
adding other graphical objects. These additions will be projected into the space and
will also be shown on the mobile of the others as background. People can then react
on each other's drawings and additions to trigger social interaction [10].

Leave Your Mark
With the installation “Leave your mark”, people can “draw” and leave their mark
behind on the public space, to express themselves (Fig. 5). The concept involves pro-
jection mapping to digitally augment buildings. In some locations the installation will
be provided with a camera. The feed of this camera will be projected onto the installa-
tion at another location. If a person walks by this second location, she could possibly
see someone, a complete stranger, leaving the mark on the first installation. The goal
is to increase their feelings of inclusion and connectedness in the city [11].
