Between October 6th and 8th 2016, MAPP_MTL lays the foundations for an international scale event, at the convergence points of Mile End and Mile-Ex neighbourhoods. This first edition will offer a journey of both interior and exterior installations, exploring as an open laboratory, a vision of the future of mapping. Mapping is a fascinating medium that uses video projection to reinvent the places, spaces and objects that surround us. Playing with our perceptions of reality and touching people by means of its power to transform, such is the seemingly unlimited potential of mapping.
