What ON EARTH is that?!
DRIVEABOUT PROJECTION
"What on earth is that?!"
Is a reaction we're proudly accustomed to. As Oscar Wilde once said “There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about”
DRIVEABOUT Projection is a crowd-stopping, self-powered ex-military customised vehicle. This vintage VW LT35 is part art installation, part projection mapping rig, part outdoor cinema projector and part pop up space... Separately, or all at same time!
The van is weatherproof & self-powered at night, & equally loves to be illustrated on the outside with chalk by day. The van not only creates a fun focal point, but provides security overnight for installation & weatherproofing of the projector when mapped.
the history of the van
The VW LT35 was built by the Swiss army as a mobile airport radar tower to land planes on Highways. This makes it perfect for Video Projection outdoors, and is also a secure base for Lasers & Lighting, ideal for health & safety requirements.
The van was recently imported from mainland Europe & it’s most popular uses over the last 10 years include Projection-Mapping, Mural Canvas, Guerrilla Marketing, Outdoor Cinema & Performance.
the history of the van
At the End of 2022 the van was featured in Music Video by Müslüm a popular Swiss music artist called "Popaganda" as a parting gift to it’s homeland.
Currently 40k views on the artists channel, its a tongue & cheek video about cultural diversity that’s become wildly successful. Video shows cheerleaders with flame throwers standing on the roof, a singer emerging from smoke filled vehicle & it being driven around a warehouse by body-popping men in boiler suites.

"Holding a mirror up to the masses. Creating conversations, expanding minds & opening hearts. Motivating people in politics & play" @shangrilaglasto
Projecting activist archive videos every night onto the façade of the site. By day the vehicle will be used as Chalk Mural Graffiti Wall, illustrated freshly each day, illuminated with UV lighting at night. Huge praise to MORE EYES for helping to make this possible.

current projects: Light Festivals
Currently submitting to Light Festivals as a park-up interactive Projection Mapping installation called SpaceGENDER & other creative responses to briefs.
SpaceGENDER is an inclusive interactive, video-projected installation, that audibly amplifies LGBTQIA+ communities & gender identities in a fun & playful way that is friendly & accessible to all. The van not only creates a fun focal point, but provides security overnight for installation & weatherproofing of the projector when mapped.
Ideal for fields that are packed full of people as less issues this vehicle will be rocked easily, due to it being 3.5 tones hence the model name suggests VW LT35.
