Migration Museum, Adelaide, Australia
Every even numbered year since 1960 the city of Adelaide, Australia has held a ten day celebration of the arts called Adelaide Festival of Arts. Adelaide is also the home town of our roving video reporter Pam Holland. 2008 is the 25th anniversary and for this year's event organizers pulled out all the stops with a breathtaking night time light show that attracted up to 15,000 people per night. As you may have guessed, this was no ordinary light show. The Electric Canvas Company of Sydney, Australia used an advanced projection system to completely alter the facades of some of the historic downtown buildings. To create these stunning alterations a digital photograph was taken of each of the chosen buildings. A template was then created and filled in with a variety of designs and colors. Using giant PIGI system projectors, each weighing more than 200kg, the designs were then projected onto each building. Running on a continuous sequence of five minutes, each of the designs bathed the buildings in fabulous washes of glowing color. Designs, ranged from William Morris textiles, medieval motifs, musical notes, to ancient Egyptian statuary. To learn more about the Adelaide Festival of Arts.
