ISE 2027: Projection Mapping Artists Lemercier And Bibasse to Keynote Spark
French artists Joanie Lemercier and Juliette Bibasse have been confirmed as keynote speakers for Spark 2027, taking place February 3–4 at Fira de Barcelona Montjuïc.
The Brussels-based duo will speak on February 3, just days after unveiling a large-scale projection mapping installation on the façade of Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Batlló in Barcelona.
Scheduled for January 30–31, the installation is the sixth edition of Casa Batlló’s annual free public mapping event. Lemercier and Bibasse are collaborating with Catalan singer and composer Maria Arnal, who will contribute an original musical composition and live vocal performance.
The project will combine architectural projection, light and music to reinterpret the building’s distinctive façade.
Exploring art and technology
Lemercier and Bibasse have collaborated for over 15 years, creating installations that use light, geometry and digital technology to transform physical spaces.
