Setup at Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt 2007

For the “Messel on Tour” exhibition of spectacular fossils, the Hessisches Landesmuseum needed a cost-effective system for multi-projection. We developed a proprietary wide-angle projection which would play out a total of eight feeds of video to eight video projectors, equipped (or rather, hacked) with re-purposed wide-angle optics, yielding a number of huge shaped canvases in the exhibition, lit by slowly evolving animations that fit the mood of the exhibition.

Altogether this may be considered a form of architectural lighting rather than presentation projection; the projection curtains, thin multilayered nylon veils, underline the ambient, atmospheric quality of the imagery.

Thanks to these intentional design decisions, only eight low-end video projectors suffice to cover a surface of about 600 m² in procedural landscapes.
