Avolites announces AVOLab partnership with Visional
- Details
An AVOLab is ‘a hub for expertise, training and product knowledge, around which a community of skilled practitioners is built’.
Visional, based in Atlanta with studios in Denver, Orlando, and Los Angeles, have been using Avolites lighting and video products for almost a decade. Visional specialises in creative design, live production, virtual engagements, interactive experiences, and immersive environmental installations.
“By combining cutting-edge technology, like Avolites Ai, with years of expertise, we help our clients create mind blowing visual experiences.” said Kyle Means, co-founder and principal of Visional. “This partnership has existed for some years now, and it’s nice to put it into terms where it makes sense for our partners and colleagues around the world.”
Co-founders Kyle Means and Jim Steurnagel have worked closely with the Avolites engineering team on their media server development, and the company has delivered many impressive projects including the multi-site Passion conference as well as countless custom projection mapping projects around the world.
However, it is their work in providing creative problem-solving support to other dealers and integrators, which makes them such a great fit for an AVOLab partnership. For example: Andrew Huff of Limelight approached Visional to provide media server and projection expertise at his install at a church in Tennessee, delivering a seamless Synergy system.
“While competition might fuel other companies, at Visional, we’re driven by collaboration and collective success,” says managing director Tyler Wise. “At Visional, we have no competitors, only collaborators. Our clients are our partners, no matter where they sit in the industry. And this is what makes Visional so uniquely suited for the AVOLab partnership. It’s all about a successful mind-blowing experience in the end, and we work with the entire project team to make that happen.”
Avolites sales manager, Stephen Baird-Smith explains, “Kyle, Jim and Tyler at Visional have built a fantastic team of creative technical people, united by a passion for delivering spectacular shows and solving problems with technology. They deliver what they say they will and have fun doing it.”
The partnership is already underway, with Visional hosting a week of Ai and Titan training, plus a Synergy workshop back in December, alongside Avolites’ exclusive US distributor Group One. The technical team at Visional also hosted open Avolites Ai software and design training sessions during USITT in Baltimore earlier this month, as part of the Media Lab hands-on workshop sessions, open to all attendees of the show.
