Mikki Kunttu once again relied on two grandMA2 light - one in Tracking-Backup-Mode - and one MA NPU (Network Processing Unit) for the necesary processing power. His project was called Grace. Kunttu explained,"Grace originated from a religious or spiritual point of view. After creating two works on the Helsinki Cathedral in previous years, I wanted to make a piece that completely supports the universal message of the church. We tend to look at this building and appreciate its architecture, but this time I wanted to bring the heart of the church onto the surface."
Together with the grandMA2 more than 100 moving lights had to face harsh weather conditions. "During the event we enjoyed the perfect winter weather with record breaking amount of snow in Helsinki and temperatures as crisp as -25°C," says Kunttu. "With all the technical challenges involved with the harsh weather conditions, our technical production was able to overcome every obstacle and literally no major problems occurred. The most important factor in these conditions is the choice of equipment that goes hand in hand with the maintenance and service work required to get the production up and to keep it running."
