For the second year in a row, we were invited by Nomada to participate in the Sharjah Light Festival 2017. For this occasion, we introduced Maestro, a new interactive video mapping, controlled by the user through a futuristic illuminated console.

The installation was set up on a half-kilometer-long building with 19 video projectors of 20,000 lumens and 8 sky-tracers. The users were offered to choose between three original Mappings: SAND, MOSAIC, and ORGAN.

This project was rewarded during the Sharjah Light Festival 2017 for “Best Installation”.

In SAND, the user could play with textures, fluids, intensities, and different fluctuations of the moves of the sand to reveal the facade. From small breeze to sand storm, this very poetic set invited the user to tame a strong organic element and play with it.

MOSAIC was an introduction to the complex and ancestral art of the Arabic patterns and its constitution. The audience played with the shapes, colors, and scale to create an infinite combination of geometrical art.

In ORGAN, the facade turned into a giant music sampler where the user was the Maestro. The interactive console split into some interaction zones that activated and deactivated different musical loops and effects, generating visuals according to the composition. The result was an explosion of colors and electronic sounds to play with.

To complete this creative and technological challenge, Tigrelab teamed up with great talents: Hand Coded was in charge of generative visuals and sounds, our technological partners ProtoPixel took care of creative technology and the lighting control, Thomas Aussenac from Sound Object created Music and Sound Design, and Joan Molins and Roger Amat were in charge of Motion Design and Animation.
