Music - Scout McMillan, "Polyhymnia"

The show was created for the world FIFA Fanfest entertainment program. The precise synchronization of the screen video with the laser beam movement made it possible to create the illusion of brutal burning the screen through with a powerful beam. The basis of the graphic part of the show was also performed in laser software, although it was intended to be shown as video on an LED screen due to technical requirements.

This was a very challenging project where we supplied seasonal installation of laser show systems inside of a gigantic ice sculpture. The permanent temperature was set to minus 12 Celsius degrees. What we found the most interesting were the visual effects of laser beams pointing in the ice, the light was distributed in an unusual way.

Music - Scandroid, "2517"

The style of new retrowave music and cyberpunk animations are great both for planetariums and for lasers. To test this hypothesis we created a short show for the Scandroid's song '2517'. Both lasers and pixel art animations are created by us. Using video mapping effects, we make animations on the dome and lasers correspond with each other, which makes the show unique. This is a standalone short show, which hopefully will expand into a bigger project in the future.

Music - Reach For The Dead; Hans Zimmer "Hunger"

This was the first time that we created a spherical/planetarium show. We built a spherical dome 25 meters in diameter and played with video projectors and lasers. This show was the result of one month experimenting. The main idea was to try it and since we liked the result very much, the spherical show became our temporary showroom for clients.

Music - Scorpions, "Send Me an Angel"

The show has integrated animation of the dance of real people. Also used rotoscoping technique to create atmospheric effects, in particular to create water. For this show we used six laser projectors and one projector for video content.

Music - Max Cameron, "Fira"; Hans Zimmer, "Planet Earth II"; Audiomachine, "Blood And Stone"

In this show I wanted to create a very monumental wedding show using not very many separate lasers. So I had to create something with five projectors. In addition I created a very precise timetable for pyro shots. At the beginning of the show my aim was to catch the audience from the first second with big sound, precise pyro and lasers. After that we slow down and start a beautiful part to flow in dreams with graphics of the bridal pair. For the closing and firework final the sound is rising again and keeps the intensity high again.

"Lineate" proposes an ephemeral architectural space where lines, both virtual and corporeal, intersect in a singular moment of performance. This project began as a workshop exploring the possibilities of laser technology in direct dialogue with live acrobatic performance, projections and sound. A meditation on geometry and balance, the result is a hybrid performance where the architectural form remains perpetually in motion -- creating a compelling space in which the borders between viewer and the performer are constantly being re-drawn.

Music - Chemical Brothers: "Chemical Beats", "Hey Boy Hey Girl" and "Got Glint"

We joined the British electronic duo Chemical Brothers for their 2018 World Tour. As part of the theatrical and immersive experience, our lasers had an important part to play, and included a number of carefully-planned cues. We created a stunning atmosphere during five tracks using 18 laser fixtures, (eight positioned along the downstage edge, eight upstage, and two located behind a screen on kinesis pods), one 30w laser for grating effects positioned centrally on a lifting column, a 24w OPSL laser centre stage, and four custom-built lasers inside the eyes of the robots, who appeared to come to life.

Music - Ilan Bluestone Feat. Guiseppe De Luca, "Scars"

Designed as a fully immersive tunnel show without any scanning near the center, this is intended to be scanned at long range over large scan angles, while maintaining safe limits above below and on the sides of a static seated audience. This method was used to give the illusion of crowd scanning without scanning into the crowds.

Music - Netta, "Toy"

This year we chose the song "Toy“ performed by Netta from Israel and created a very powerful beamshow. It was the winning song from the 2018 Eurovision Song Contest and an answer to the #metoo debate (sexual harassment in the entertainment industry).

Music - Really Slow Motion, "Nothing Can Stop Us"

Something cosmic and epic unfolds somewhere in consciousness. Small but emotional show.

Credits - Show Designers: Diana Coenen, Christina Fink, Chief Creative Officer: Matthias Müller-Quernheim

Music - Woodkid, "Run Boy Run"

The character of this laser show is defined by an outstanding very special rhythmic sound reminiscent of galloping horses chasing the main character through different sceneries marked by the constant change between a fast and a slow music sequence. Every laser beam hits a single beat of this characteristic sound, leading those watching the show through a battle between mirrors and beams and a world full of contrasts in rhythm, color and light.

Music - Hans Zimmer, "Once Upon a Time in Africa" from Madagascar 2

Every day, people are confronted with emotions. All over the world these feelings are similar. Hectic moments and pure soul relaxation are known from every creature in our world. These feelings are shown in reactions. "Humanity" reflects these parts in our lives in a rotation between hard stormy and peaceful soft sequences.

Credits - Programmer/Designer/Operator: Theo Petrides

Music - Au5, "Activate"

Laser Light Synths is a large-scale interactive light installation that gives you the experience of being a rock star, even if you can't play any traditional musical instruments! As you play the custom-made synths, powerful laser beams respond to the music and synchronised animated visuals cover the entire building. The synths have been designed to use a carefully selected musical scale so they remain in perfect harmony with each other. The brightness of the lasers, and the powerful sound system produce an intense and awe-inspiring experience for the audience.

Music - Close Encounters of the Third Kind soundtrack

An arts cinema screening of Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Director's Cut), augmented with immersive laser effects, shown to an audience of 140 people. Effects included liquid skies, moving abstracts and a custom replica of the famous music 'scoreboard'. Fifty-seven interactions were cued live to the film with a MIDI keyboard and control pad connected to our custom laser control software, using IDN to drive the laser. The cinema, in a historic building, had limited height and wall space. So in order to maintain safety clearances, the effects were mapped onto nine areas with perspective transformation.
