“This is one of the largest and most complicated surfaces we have ever projected onto. Despite the fact the image is broken up by the mechanical nature of the telescope girder, there was still enough of a coherent surface to ensure that the image resolution was bold and strong. Instead, they were tiled together by splitting a single image into a four-way grid, dividing it between the four projectors and carefully positioning the output of each projector to create one large image, and it worked. Due to the complicated surface, it wasn’t possible to layer the images by overlaying the projectors.
The technical design included two projection locations, with four Barco 40K projectors on each side. To assist Lumen and Eno, Bluman Associates modeled the telescope in 3D using a d3 media server to help the creative team visualise the finished product. Working with such an intangible projection surface, it was very difficult to predict what the projection was going to look like. Creative visual agency, Bluman Associates provided the projection design, working with Eno to bring the artwork and the telescope to life, which created a stunning and mysterious light installation after sunset. The decision was made to project the images onto the girder work of the telescope, highlighting the mechanics of the retro Lovell.
