We were so busy with the show that we didn’t get a chance to document, but we found these clips from a happy attendee.

A long shot of the show.

As the first concert to be hosted at the Convention Centre, we had to be sure everything went smoothly and according to plan. The ten video projectors were driven all driven by Modul8 on one Mac Pro and three Macbook Pros. On the LED side, we had 600 nodes of Colorkinetics iflex and 14 CK Colorblaze units all driven by Madrix.

Here are some more photos:

The video screens are custom built 40″ squares that create two 10′ x 10′ screens. It’s always fun to work with irregular screen shapes and especially screens that are made of a selection of smaller screens.

Some short clips are below the photos.

Here’s some video clips we shot of the event.

Check out the photos we’ve found from a variety of blogs and websites.

The control system uses an Arduino control board and two custom built 256 channel LED control boxes. The Flash based touch interface (built by Lightroom), communicates with a Processing application which sends commands to the ardiuno and the LED controllers.

The fantastic model was built by The Model Shop in Vancouver, and included individual LEDs for each of it’s 422 suites. Each suite can be individually illuminated, as well as each floor, groups of several floors and random suite illumination (as shown). Light animations also light the entire building suite by suite or floor by floor.

Two switches on the wall allow a sales person to choose between playing back English and Spanish versions of the presentation, which when pressed, dim the architectural lighting and begin the show.

Six channels of full colour LED lights follow along with the video, washing the front wall of the theatre with rich light.

For the Century house re-design we worked with the interior designers to integrate LED lighting into portions of the interior. Our favorite part was the creation ‘animated fabric’ wall panels, where we brought the panels to life by illumination and animation. The result was a wall of animated dots that would randomly appear within the pattern of the fabric, the animated dots can appear in any colour and respond to sound or user input via a touch screen across the room.

In our recent projects we have ventured for a fusion between digital media and the physical features of a space to give it a changeable atmosphere. We believe that buildings and spaces can express a mood, a tone and an energy level. This we see as the initial layer in creating expressive and informative interiors and facades. Collaboration with Architects and interior designers is essential to our goals, this is how our own design process comes to life.

The ubiquitous nature of LED lighting & digital media have made it as malleable as mortar to the building process, in a sense it is on the way to becoming another building technology.

There are many ways to use light and materials, the latest generation of LED’s allow designers
to have lighting where it was not practical or possible before. Above is a typical light/ materials brief (in this case) showing how light can interact with Lucite.
