Using evolving visuals, we explore the ways technology and social media distort our perception of time, accelerating our days and merging moments into a continuous, often overwhelming flow. Through this experience, we encourage viewers to confront the effects of this distortion and restore a sense of genuine human connection. Set against the architectural features of the buildings: El Furniture Warehouse, Original Joe’s and Annabelle’s Kitchen on Stephen Avenue, our visuals evolve and pulse, conveying a sense of movement that mirrors time slipping and bending around us. We blend physics-inspired effects with an evocative soundtrack that synchronizes with the visuals, creating a layered sensory experience. Each element of Collision urges the viewer to pause, reflect, and consider what endures amidst the rush of digital life.

Central Memorial Park Library 7:30pm - 11pm Over the last two winters, AZMA has partnered with animators from Calgary and Bogotá to create six unique projection mappings at Central Memorial Park Library. AZMA handles the technical side, allowing artists to focus on creative storytelling. This collaboration offers a community platform for artistic expression without the need for technical expertise in projection mapping. The first trio of animations drew inspiration from the library's architecture, its role as a repository of books, and the cultural significance of Memorial Park. Utilizing a diverse set of techniques, artists Residuo, Sergio Moreno, and AZMA produced works that range from 3D and 2D digital animation to motion graphics and handmade stop-motion. The remaining three animations were crafted with the winter season in mind. As the solstice nears and the days grow shorter, these pieces by Tyler Longmire, Emmanuel Ho, and Residuo serve as luminous reminders of the Holiday Spirit, casting light and warmth during the darkest months. Together, these six animations span two themes and showcase the diverse potential of architectural projection mapping.

Building on the original installation, the new edition brings together handmade animation, creativity and playful exploration, inviting visitors of all ages to discover how art and math connect through movement, experimentation and play. Premiered in 2026, the new edition is now available for touring to immersive galleries, science centres and cultural spaces. Explore the new edition of Impossible Geometries 2026 Presentation History March 1 – September 5, 2022THEMUSEUMKitchener, Ontario, CA Impossible Geometries was the inaugural experience presented in THEMUSEUM’s EYEPOOL interactive 360-degree projection environment. This immersive exhibit took visitors through ten unique audiovisual worlds exploring elements of visual design, interaction, and play. Guests entered a surreal landscape where space and time warped and abstract geometries filled the room. Each world emphasized a different visual design element, including line, dot, shape, texture, space, color, intersection, scale, negative and positive space, and repetition. Visitors were encouraged to explore freely, knowing there were no right answers. Sensors in the room tracked movement and activated interactive floor animations, encouraging play, exploration, and reflection on the visual elements present in each world.

Animation #1 by Laura Anzola and Matthew Waddell uses abstract geometry and particles - tightly synchronized to the beat - to highlight architecture and rhythm. Animation #2 by Residuo Animacion is a hand-made, stop motion animation using pastels and powdered pigments to take us on a crafty journey through texture and human touch. Animation #3 by Sergio Moreno is a smiley mix of 3D and 2D animation that brings the library into the park with books, written text and colourful paper transitions.&nbsp; Credits Presented by Victoria Park BIA and Calgary Public Library Artistic Direction and Projection Mapping: AZMA Animation 1: Laura Anzola and Matthew Waddell Animation 2: Residuo Studio, Daniela Briceño and Diego Cortes Animation 3: Sergio Moreno&nbsp; Technical Direction: Marc Lavallee Photos: Studio Stratagem (Emily Promise Allison) Video: Kara Bree Productions Thanks to: David Low <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7f112b95d0519dbe779259dfa601bee917ff7d8b883d2681da25026bbf2ad040/116A4709.jpg" data-mid="127431717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7f112b95d0519dbe779259dfa601bee917ff7d8b883d2681da25026bbf2ad040/116A4709.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ad86119312a21bc3fd30dff7114535aad06d8f4505ab4e103249ae3136394d3/116A4854.jpg" data-mid="127431721" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ad86119312a21bc3fd30dff7114535aad06d8f4505ab4e103249ae3136394d3/116A4854.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5067e2c37804465662d8b8a0b341115583b8baab506d0562f12e1e97399292f/116A4823.jpg" data-mid="127431720" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5067e2c37804465662d8b8a0b341115583b8baab506d0562f12e1e97399292f/116A4823.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/14606443bd53d118bb6d10cc6ea54620fe411e7a54ee3959a334f671befc84f6/116A4785.jpg" data-mid="127431718" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/14606443bd53d118bb6d10cc6ea54620fe411e7a54ee3959a334f671befc84f6/116A4785.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d9975579321d1fd66b944c1ddf9705f41f684cb39caca35ca664123b391bcf2f/116A4695.jpg" data-mid="127431716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d9975579321d1fd66b944c1ddf9705f41f684cb39caca35ca664123b391bcf2f/116A4695.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="675" width_o="1200" height_o="675" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d6301ffde49bada5ac401b93ca142e1c029c10385043e49c4253bef1d2751b61/116A4800.jpg" data-mid="127431719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d6301ffde49bada5ac401b93ca142e1c029c10385043e49c4253bef1d2751b61/116A4800.jpg" /> https://azmadigital.com/Reel-2021 Thu, 28 Sep 2023 19:34:56 +0000 Axis-Z Media Arts https://azmadigital.com/Reel-2021 Reel 2021 Featuring footage from:&nbsp; Gravitation, 2020 | Calgary TropiCalgary, GLOW Festival, 2017 | Calgary Alberta Winter Games, 2020 | Airdrie The Long View Polar Bear, 2019 | Calgary Spectral Illuminations II, Cental Park Library, 2017 | Calgary BiblioBeats, 2021 | Calgary https://azmadigital.com/Gravitation Fri, 09 Oct 2020 21:30:52 +0000 Axis-Z Media Arts https://azmadigital.com/Gravitation Gravitation Projection Mapping Installation 2020 Victoria Park BIA &amp; AZMA present GRAVITATION October 10th - November 6th, 2020&nbsp; Gravitation is a large-scale projection mapped installation taking place each night along 1st Street SW between 12 Ave and 13 Ave SW. Gravitation combines particle-based animations along with inspirational texts, commenting on life under a pandemic, to create a truly unique and mesmerizing experience for the Calgary public. &nbsp; The installation is inspired by gravitation, a physical natural phenomena that is shared by all matter in the universe. Gravitation references the movement by which any particle of matter is able to attract and repel others with varying force over time. Particles exist both individually and collectively and are involved in an ongoing, ever-changing push/pull relationship to negotiate space and shape. The fluctuating movements within Gravitation are inspired by the ways society has adapted to deal with the challenges present during COVID-19 and the difficulties of being apart while trying to connect with loved ones and the world around us.&nbsp; Credits Presented by Victoria Park BIA Concept: Laura Anzola, Matthew Waddell and Uii Savage Technical Direction: Marc LavalleePhotos: Studio Stratagem (Emily Promise Allison)&nbsp; Video: Kara Bree Productions Thanks to:&nbsp; David Low and Paul Magnuson <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/810bbf7a15eaf6c78c2c864aabb982988666ef2b5c864d78b3d9fab45761ee0a/116A1060.jpg" data-mid="95872371" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/810bbf7a15eaf6c78c2c864aabb982988666ef2b5c864d78b3d9fab45761ee0a/116A1060.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3dff79fe03d0addbbddf7f68833d1f24aaaeb11e4d2953407b2056e467241fdd/116A1092.jpg" data-mid="95872372" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3dff79fe03d0addbbddf7f68833d1f24aaaeb11e4d2953407b2056e467241fdd/116A1092.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d403d6f04b0204e45c26454590f71bd4beed0749e87574b4eded9411bfc9a359/16A0907.jpg" data-mid="95872370" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d403d6f04b0204e45c26454590f71bd4beed0749e87574b4eded9411bfc9a359/16A0907.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/819f8ed9a0b795d963c9fce58b459ba8c0a4f8a5296fd2b2e18281d080eec262/116A1128.jpg" data-mid="95872373" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/819f8ed9a0b795d963c9fce58b459ba8c0a4f8a5296fd2b2e18281d080eec262/116A1128.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="800" width_o="1200" height_o="800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/80de881eab5584baeaff946bf74ec2be9f676be0437cbc7e52d70972a691c43f/116A1136.jpg" data-mid="95872374" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/80de881eab5584baeaff946bf74ec2be9f676be0437cbc7e52d70972a691c43f/116A1136.jpg" />
