Electroson Studio was selected by the city of Mons (Wallonia – Belgium) to produce and project the unique show The frontiers of the imagination for 8 evenings, from January 25 to 28 and February 1 to 4, 2024, between 6:30 p.m. and midnight, as part of the first edition of the festival Mons en Lumières, on theCity Hall which dominates the most important square in the city center: the main square.
During this period, the city center of Mons was enhanced with art and light thanks to a fascinating itinerary of 3 kilometers welcoming 26 light installations and projections carefully designed, integrating harmoniously into the urban setting and architecture of the historic center.
Accessible to all and completely free, the course highlighted local, national and international talents.
For this first edition, and to celebrate the 100th anniversary of surrealism, the journey has as a common thread surrealism and poetry.
Technically
To cover the imposing facade of the Town Hall, it was necessary to install 4 video projectors Panasonic PT-RQ35K recognized as the tri-DLP laser projector with 4K resolution (with Quad Pixel Drive), offering a brightness of 30,000 lumens, the smallest and lightest in the world. They are controlled by a media server Module Pi STD-4 which acts as Master for installation.
The bell tower of the Town Hall is covered by 1 video projector Epson EB-L1715S with optics ELPLM15, commanded by a Module Pi Nano configured in Slavic.
The red lighting of the square, which serves as a common thread for the various installations along the route, is controlled in DMX thanks to a ARTnet-DMX node connected to video mapping control software, LED and laser installations MadMapper, controlled by the master server Modulo Pi in with the protocol CSO.
