Blurring the line between reality and fiction

Did you ever dream you could fly? Would you like to be a giant or Lilliputian for one day? What about time travel to a 19th century factory? El Fotocroma del mNACTEC allows mNACTEC visitors to blur the line between reality and fiction. 

El Fotocroma del mNACTEC is a chroma-key installation that mixes the images of the participating visitors into scenes of Terrassa industrial heritage. Chroma keying is a special effects technique for compositing two images together based on color shades. A color range, usually green, in the top layer is made transparent, revealing another image behind.

An iPad kiosk will be available for visitors to select the desired scenerio (from ancient photos to museum best pieces), take photos, download and share them with friends on social networks. Besides, the Fotocroma will be accessible for smartphones through the museum app.

The chroma setup was tested last Tuesday 12th February. The biggest challenge when setting up the installation was lighting and some adjustments will be made in the upcoming weeks. 

In the framework of the CreativeCH project, el Fotocroma del mNACTEC aims to attract young visitors to the museum through a playful experience. For this reason, further testing will take place among Torre del Palau High School students on Monday 25th February, together with “El Pallars il·lumina Catalunya” exhibition opening.
