It can now be revealed that Christie Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors played a crucial role in two of Brazil’s biggest electronic and techno music events. In May this year, the tech was used to project spectacular images onto walls at Time Warp Brasil and Illusionize in Saturn, two music festivals in the city of São Paulo.
Established in 1994, Time Warp Brasil is one of the world’s largest techno and house festivals, with events in Mannheim, Madrid, New York, and São Paulo. For Time Warp Brasil’s 30th anniversary, the festival commissioned On Projeções and The Force agency to project onto the building opposite the event venue to enhance the attendees’ sense of immersion and to transform the event into a visually impactful and engaging experience.
To achieve this, On Projeções used two Christie Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors to map abstract images and photos onto the building’s two facades, one measuring 33m x 27m (108ft x 89ft) and the other 12m x 31m (39ft x 102ft), with a total resolution of 12,068,480 pixels.
Luciana Barcellos, director of On Projeções, said: “The projections on the building had a significant visual impact, and created a unique and immersive environment that captured the visitors’ attention. They added an element of surprise and innovation, and enhanced the audience’s experience to make the event more memorable.”
Illusionize in Saturn, an electronic music party led by popular DJ and producer Pedro Mendes (also known as Illusionize) took place at ARCA, São Paulo’s premier indoor venue for electronic music events.
The Illusionize in Saturn organisers requested that the planet Saturn and its rings be projected where the DJ was situated. To achieve this, On Projeções used two Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors to cover a 30m x 20m (98ft x 66ft) surface with images simulating Saturn’s environment, with a total resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Barcellos said: “The projections at the party had a significant impact on the visitors’ experience, producing a visually stunning and immersive environment. The Griffyn’s high brightness was especially beneficial, as it allowed the projections to stand out in a large party filled with lights.”
She concluded: “The performance of the Griffyn projectors is truly excellent. They provide great projection power and deliver sharp, precise, and vibrant images.”
