Spectacular projection on strips of paper during the Turbine Festival 2015

In the spectacular projection carried out on a 'curtain' of strips of paper in the Turbine room of the Tate Modern, with the theme of the Turbine Festival audiovisual event 2015, d3 Technologies have participated, XL Video and Barco Technologies.

As part of the audiovisual meeting, Turbine Festival 2015, video designer Icarus Wilson-Wright created a spectacular event for the Turbine Hall (Turbine Hall) from the Tate Modern in London. The objective was to transform the room and give it a new look. To carry out the project, that took place on 25 July, was supported by the technological proposals of d3 Technologies, XL Video y Barco Technology.

Tate Modern is the name by which the British National Museum of Modern Art in London is known and is part of the Tate group of museums., together with Tate Britain, Tate Liverpool y Tate St Ives, the latter two located outside London.

Given the characteristics of the room and its height 35 metros, Wilson-Wright decided to change the appearance of the Turbine room. And to do this he used dozens of strips of fireproof paper up to 25 meters long that hung from the ceiling, offering a combination of colored lights, and on which a subtle projection was shown that changed throughout the day.

In total they used 10.000 meters of strips of paper to change the appearance of the room. Two Barco HDX projectors, located at each end of the room, were used to project onto these 'cuts’ paper.

To complement the use of paper in the main room, an additional installation was created, hanging in the darkest area of ​​the room below the central area. The main piece was an origami owl accompanied by inverted pyramids.. Images projected with a Barco team were also shown on this.

The preview, sequence and playback of the contents were provided from a d3 Technologies platform.

In addition to peripheral power supply and connectivity, XL Video provided the lenses for the Barco projectors and two HDiye mini cameras, used to capture live images of the room, which were then projected in the origami installation.
