Istvan David
Founder and CEO of Limelight Projection Mapping, light and projection artist
Budapest, Hungary
He projects onto buildings. Limelight, the collective he runs, is one of the pioneers of projection mapping, with work on four continents.
He came on for sales, the one thing the studio has never had to do. Their work sits near the top of any search for projection mapping, so enquiries always arrived on their own. The hard part was finding the people who actually commission this work, and every advertising platform starts by asking which country you want to buy. One afternoon turned it into three thousand organisations and a survey to score them.
Away from the buildings he fishes, with HOLAHAL, a lure fishing crew who film what they catch.
My mission is to create a free creative space at our collective for every artist to be who they are and free their imagination, so we can create artworks together that inspire their global audience.
- Architectural projection mapping. Turning a building's own geometry into the canvas, which is a different craft from putting a video on a wall.

The show with Mate is amazing. He helped me solving problems in a few hours that I'd have spent months working on myself. He's really passionate about helping people in the new world of AI and I'm grateful that I could be a part of his show. Definitely recommended for everyone!
