On The Other Stage, LD Jonny Gaskell used 55 Pixellines and PixelDrive software, which were supplied by Bandit Lites, for Orbital's incendiary set. Taking an experimental approach, Gaskell took Orbital's video content and fed it into the PixelDrive computer to see how it would look when applied to the battens, producing some interesting patterns and textures. Gaskell also LD'd for Goldfrapp, this time using 27 Pixellines and PixelDrive, with the battens supplied by Neg Earth.
There was also plenty of other Pixel presence around the Glastonbury site. In the Budweiser dance tent, lighting was designed by Nick Jevons of Electric Fly Productions, and featured 12 battens. Colour Sound Experiment, lighting contractors for the Glade Stage, supplied 12 battens and 12 PixelPAR 90 (A) fixtures as part of the general lighting scheme.
