Huh?
That's a run off the mill projector.
This technique is called mapping and it's been out there for long enough to be the most abused little bitch of the world of visuals of today.
This one in particular is not extremely interesting. Far from "truly creative".

idk...
i have actually tried "this" (not even as close to similar) with some of the projectors here at work,
i abandoned the project since it looked horrible on even our best projector.
but i do have to agree...
this isnt really "truly creative", but still a "very well done" presentation.
especially the city part at the end.

Office projectors are never to be used seriously for visuals.
You always need a better grade projector... but that's standard fare for proferssional VJing

Run off the mill, as i said, for professional VJing.
A proper Sony projector at 3000aL should do the trick. That's pretty run off the mill.

Akira is always "edgy" as you put it, or confrontational, as I would put it... but that's just his ...charm?

akira is correct though about this not being a new technique really, thus maybe not living up to the "truly creative" as part of the title...and id think of this more as video art (was this shown as an installation? looks like it) which isnt quite the same as visuals (which is a subtle difference with a blurry line)
edit: sorry to be a nitpicker, just that i got my degree for video art mostly, so ill be picky about it until the student loans are paid off in (checks dates)...2017? fuckkkkkkkk.....

Well, in the end, anyway, it's cool to know that, and I never doubted what Akira stated, but can't a dude just share something he thought was cool without getting any flak? I mean just because a technique is old doesn't mean it doesn't have merit (like take for example, making music with a tracker. Not exactly fresh...) and I don't think it's unreasonable that your average person doesn't know everything about the specifics of projectors related to VJing, right?
I guess my point in "taking a stand" here 
is that it seems kinda often that Akira is a bit harsh and I'm confused what he gains from it.
