Mapping as an Art-Form of Interaction with the Urban Space

Abstract

The work is dedicated to the study of video mapping as an innovative artistic practice that integrates art, technology, and public spaces in contemporary cities. It explores the features of the technical process of creating mapping, from a detailed study of the architectural features of buildings to the application of advanced visualization and interactivity technologies. Creative strategies employed by artists are analyzed, including narrative, abstract plastic, and activist approaches, which form a new paradigm of viewer interaction with the environment. The socio-cultural functions of mapping are emphasized, including the revival of public spaces, the expansion of art accessibility, and the formation of public dialogue. Future prospects are described, focusing on the further development of interactive and immersive technologies that transform urban landscapes into dynamic, flexible, and adaptive environments.
