Christie Pandoras Box Software Version 8.8 technology is powering the projection mapping at Schlosslichtspiele Festival at Karlsruhe Palace, Germany from August 16 to September 17.
Technical team AV Active has deployed two Pandoras Box licenses, two Christie Widget Designers and 24 Pandoras Box outputs to power projection mapping onto the 172m x17m façade of Karlsruhe Palace.
Among this year’s events is mapping specialist Maxin10sity’s “80’s Flash” show to tie in with a 1980s museum exhibit inside the building, while German electronic band Kraftwerk performs in front of the Palace during the festivities.
Sven Gayer, technical director of AV Active, said: “Without this centralised interface, the day-to-day operations would be much more complex. Imagine an individual who just has to press a button in the evening; without Pandoras Box, they'd be overwhelmed with tasks. One of the standout features that's invaluable to us is the warping capability in Pandoras Box. This has allowed us to achieve our desired results rapidly and efficiently."
The event is under the creative direction of ZKM Centre for Art and Media Karlsruhe. This year’s festival carries the theme of “Horizons of Hope. Dawn of Devices,” which was chosen by Peter Weibel, a curator of the festival, who passed away earlier this year. Maxin10sity has also created a short video in his honour, which will be shown at the festival.
