ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTION MAPPING & MEDIA ART

THIS WEBSITE IS ALMOST DONE.

We are working on different projection / video / 3D mappings, 2D and 3D animations, digital art installations and other audiovisual projects.

Our time for webdesign is…. let’s say limited.
So this website will always be under permanent construction.

As soon as we have time to add recent projects we will do that.
Anyway. If you find bugs: Stay calm. Relax.
Kommt Zeit, kommt Rat. As we say in Germany.

In the meantime enjoy our recent video production about us and our approach to projection mapping, video mapping, 3D mapping, whatever you call it…

OUR WORKS
LET US WORK TOGETHER

LET US WORK TOGETHER

We have a simple WORKFLOW.

Talk. Think. Create. Yes, it is that simple. Over the past ten years, we created various projects in every scale imaginable. We work with lights, projectors, screens, LED facades, interactive installations and devices, VR and AR, 2D and 3D animation, 360°-Video and sound. We are always curious about new approaches and technologies. We want to redefine rules of perception. We are looking for new ways of understanding things…

First. Let us connect.
Second. Let us concept.
Third. Let us create.

1. CONNECT

First, let us talk. Let us think about size, duration, location and the possibilities we have. Let us find out what is the best solution for your idea.

Your project.
Our experience.

2. CONCEPT

Second, let us think about the taste and feel. The mood. The approach. The desired effect. We develop a concept that fits the project and considers the possible.

Your project.
Our passion.

3. CREATE

Third, let us create. Something new. Something no one has ever seen before. Something with a strong idea and unique emotions.

Your project.
Our work.

WHO WE ARE

WHO WE ARE...

ruestungsschmie.de is more than the sum of all components …

We are a network of architects, artists, media designers, sound designers, technicians and out-of-the-boxers.
We are working together in different constellations, roles and functions.

Meet the two founders of ruestungsschmie.de

Michał Banisch – ruestungsschmie.de

michał banisch

FOUNDER + CREATOR

During his studies Michał worked for zanderarchitekten in Dresden, where he now holds a leading position. In addition to his commitment to ruestungsschmie.de, Michał is at home in the visual arts. In recent years, he has focused heavily on video art. Various of his projects have been shown at European film and short film festivals.

Filip Szambelan – ruestungsschmie.de

filip modest szambelan

FOUNDER + CREATOR

After studying architecture, Filip stayed at the TU Dresden and worked in two chairs, design and industrial construction, in teaching and research. Today Filip, in addition to his work at ruestungsschmie.de, works as a freelance 3D artist and media designer. He also is a tutor at the fac. architecture @ Technische Universität Dresden, where he teaches projection mapping in an architectural context.

WHO WE ARE
WHAT WE DO

WHAT WE DO...

Architecture school made us do this…

Because of our architectural education we have an individual approach to projection mapping and media art.

Our artwork is conceptual.
Our artwork is analytical.
Our artwork is graphical.

PROJECTION MAPPING

Projection mapping, video mapping, 3D mapping, architectural mapping.

You name it.
We love it.

Our biggest passion is to produce individual and site specific audiovisual shows, which open up new perspectives for the audience.

EDUCATION + LECTURES

Spreading our knowledge seems like a good idea to us.

That’s why Filip + Michał, the founding members of ruestungsschmie.de, are teaching video mapping at the architecture faculty of TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITÄT DRESDEN, Germany.

We teach to introduce young architects to the wide field of architectural projection mapping and open new ideas on light and architecture.

LIGHT ART INSTALLATION

We love light.
We love space.
We love sound.

We adore the combination.

We create soundreactive light art installations. Indoor and outdoor. Immersive. Powerful. Enhancing.

Our credo:
Never seen before.

MEDIA ART

2D? 3D? VR? 360°? Rendering? Data-driven? Parametric? Big Data?

How can we visualize things?
How do we get interactive?
How do we achieve immersivity?

These are the questions which make us get up every day and go to the atelier and try and explore.

And eventually we find a solution. For each and every challenge.

VIDEO ART

Yes, of course we produce 2D FOOTAGE.

And yes, we do short films.
We know how to deal with video content.
We know how to edit.
We know how to apply effects.
We know how to color grade.

We have to know all this to develop all the other stuff we do…

3D VISUALISATION

We were raised on 2D DATA.
And always dreamed about 3D DATA.
We grew up in the 1990s.

CAD, PIXEL and VECTOR were our closest friends, when we were young. We were quite a gang. We had a great time in High School.

But then a dream came true:
3D DATA came into our lives when we were studying architecture.

Well, we obviously fell in LOVE…
