MAPP

MAPP, an abbreviation of Mapping At Private Properties, is an interactive, mobile, point-and-shoot video-mapping system, with which imagery is projected from an old-fashioned stroller onto a wall.

Participants step into the light to be scanned. Then, within seconds of stepping away, they become part of a colourful projected work of art. Don’t forget to bring a camera to capture all the picture-perfect moments!

AlexP consists of Alex Prooper and Simone van Dam. Their studio is based in the Netherlands.

Alex is a (digital) media artist. He studied physics, but ended up in the software industry over 35 years ago. He started to focus more and more on making art through his own developed software, and he has been working as a full-time artist for over fifteen years now.

Simone has studied at the Academy of Visual Arts in Amsterdam and has been working together with Alex for the last fifteen years.

The art made by AlexP is always technical, but often based on or derived from natural phenomena. They examine systems and the patterns and behaviour as a result of these systems. They often involve the spectator in the system of the work of art, making it
interactive.

AlexP shows their work at festivals, art exhibitions, galleries and museums. In the past years, among others, their work was shown during Canal Convergence, Scottsdale (USA), the Amsterdam Light Festival (NL), Luna Leeuwarden (NL), Bright Brussels (BE), Night Light Calgary (Canada) and in the Kröller-Müller Museum (NL).
