Paint Up! is a building-mapping contest orgaized annualy in Budapest. It’s  finals will be held this Saturday (October 6.) between 19:00 and 22:30, right next to Heroes Square on the facade of Műcsarnok. Although we are not  contest participants, we will still be there with quite a remarkable show.

Bordos László Zsolt internationally renowned video-mapping artist is a regular at the event, creating off competition pieces. This year, along with Kitchen Budapest, he chose the winners of the past three competitions to co-create a unique video. One that can show viewers the current trends of 2012, and also higlight the technological advancement of the artform.

Take a look at the off competition video of 2011:

Beside the building’s virtual explosion, you will be bale to witness, how the 1000 square meter surface of the Art Gallery can be manipualated and re-tailored with simple hand guestures.
