Students from the University of Arts in Berlin have developed a concept piece for projecting moving images and video from a box affixed to the side of a subway carriage. By putting a digital projector, some mirrors and a laptop into a box, and then affixing said box to the side of the carriage through suction cups, the students have managed to create a piece of art that moves with the viewer. The projection only starts when the subway train is moving, so the images of fish and questions of Quo Vadis? (Where do we go from here)

What’s interesting is how the projection changes as the subway walls change, shifting, enlarging and then decreasing in size once more. Despite the animated images projected being bright and clear, the nature of the walls projected onto make the images fuzzy, but indistinct in a way that makes the project all the more appealing. While modern subways are all bright lights and security cameras that see all, this is interesting because its lack of clarity. You can’t be sure of what’s going to come next, what is just literally around the corner.
‘Parasite’ Quicktime movie

University of Arts Digital School:

The tunnels of a subway-system bear something mystic—most people usually have never made a step inside any of those tunnels. Confusing the routine of your train-travelling-journey, your habits and perception Parallel Worlds—making use of Parasite—allows you a glimpse into a different world full of surrealist imagery.
