The MiPIX Intelligent Pixel Block.
UK - On 15 November 2003, Kylie Minogue launched her latest CD 'Body Language' at an exclusive concert in London's Carling Apollo Hammersmith, backed by a breathtaking design of Barco ILite 10 and MiPIX LED displays. The show, aptly named 'Money Can't Buy' and with no tickets being offered for sale, was strictly by invitation only. The show cost £1m and featured costumes designed by Helmut Lang, Chanel and Balenciaga, alongside state-of-the-art Barco LED displays totalling 100sq.m, which served as backdrop to Kylie's high energy performance.

The LED display and backdrop, supplied by Barco Rental Partner XL Video, consisted of a 20sq.m ILite 10 indoor LED display surrounded by 80sq.m of Barco's revolutionary MiPIX LED blocks. The Barco ILite 10 indoor LED and MiPIX displays were used as one seamless display on which high resolution graphics and animations were shown throughout the show. Both displays can also be seen on the televised version of the concert, which was broadcast worldwide on Saturday, 21 November.

"We are enormously proud that our ILite indoor LED display as well as the recently launched MiPIX was chosen for Kylie's concert," says Barco Events Division manager, Steve Scorse, adding: "We launched MiPIX only eight weeks ago and already it has been used by some of the world's best-known names, like Mercedes Benz and Kylie Minogue."Minogue's one-off concert seems to have hit the right note with critics and fans alike. Opening the show with the brand new single 'Still Standing', Minogue wowed the audience with her Brigitte Bardot inspired look as she made a dramatic entrance languishing on a beam almost 8m above the stage floor.
