For the first-ever Ghent Light Festival, a large number of national and international light artists and AV companies have joined forces to create a spectacle. XL Video and Spectaculaires opted for Barco's event projectors to support four different artists and artist collectives, who want to spotlight some of the city's magic. In total, eight CLM and 13 FLM projectors support creations from noted artists like Pablo Valbuena.
"In recent years, Ghent has invested heavily in scenic lighting for the entire city centre," comments Serge Platel from the Ghent Light Festival. "And with this first-ever Light Festival we want to celebrate this award-winning lighting plan and give visitors the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Ghent's unique charm. During the three-day event, the artists will present the most surprising light experiences at several locations throughout the city."
French company Spectaculaires chose Barco's FLM projectors for its successful show On dirait que... . The show turns the façade of the Post Plaza building at the Korenmarkt into a new universe, where light, projections and sound tell the tale of a young boy who becomes a giant in his dream - Windows and doors morph into toy figurines, and the entire building becomes a fairy tale.
