Projection Design by
Carlos Johns-Dávila

For Distance Anatomy, developed with Vytautas Niedvaras, my projection design approach centered on enabling real-time, transnational collaboration through responsive visual systems. Using motion tracking and low-latency networked data, performers in London and New York City were able to influence each other’s visual environments—sending movement data across space to generate and manipulate projections in real time. The result was a shared visual field where distant bodies could meet, overlap, and co-create, transforming projection into a live interface for connection and improvisation. This work reflects my approach to projection design as a relational system—one that extends embodiment beyond physical proximity and uses technology to build new forms of presence, collaboration, and storytelling across distance.
