Venue
Freedom Stage, Boom (BE)
My role
Motion operator (night)
Equipment
grandMA3 light · 225 LED screens · 450 motors

The roof of the hall held 225 LED screens. Each screen hung from two motors, 450 in total. Every screen could drop and tilt at different angles, so the ceiling changed shape during a set.

The screens were transparent: light, sound and wind passed straight through. That kept the fixtures above the ceiling usable.

For Painting with Light I was the night operator for the motion: I ran the movement of the ceiling. All movements were controlled from a grandMA3 light.
