Ceilings for the Car Process

The News Room wall used 28 Absen PR1.9 tiles at 1,792 by 1,024 pixels, driven by a single Brompton SX40. Wardex added 22 Brompton XD distribution units to its ten SX40s, and the set was up for a full month. The car process ran seven SX40s, 24 XD units, four Disguise VX 4+ servers, four Elgato Stream Deck XL controllers and ten AdderLink XDIP units. The cameras were Sony Venice 2. Sager describes learning to treat the wall as a device to deliver exposition rather than an extension of the scenic work.

A 24m by 5m ground-stacked curved ROE wall and a 10m by 5m high-resolution Absen ceiling, mounted on a custom rig developed with Cirrolite. Rich Phillips, CTO at Garden Studios, names the limitation of large pixel-pitch ceilings for windscreen reflections; the new one is meant to capture in-focus reflections in camera. Brompton and British Cinematographer say the ceiling travels up to 20 metres front-to-back; the studio's own page says 18, and adds that it tilts up to 90 degrees to work as a front wall. It runs at 10-bit, 50Hz on SX40 processors and XD units over TAC fibre.

Epson published this on 16 September; the production ran in March, six performances between 20 and 29 March in a 250-seat setting at 15 Channel Center St, per Boston Lyric Opera's own page, which credits MASARY with projection and pre-show design. MASARY animated the supertitles as typography styled and paced to each passage. Two Epson large venue 4K 3-chip 3LCD laser projectors, converged into a single image, carried them across Sara Brown's set; a third, the EB-PQ2010W on an ultra short throw snorkel lens, rear-projected a window built into it.

The €20 million FaustForum in Staufen im Breisgau opened in April with a Prodigy P2-900 system installed by Scheinwurf GmbH: four motorised hoists, one over the auditorium and three over the stage, with compression tubes, integrated cable management, six power circuits and two DMX universes, flying around 50 fixtures under a clear height of almost seven metres. A three-person team installed and commissioned it in four working days across two visits, including independent inspection. ETC says the wired QuickTouch+ Mk2 station works within the operator's direct line of sight; mothergrid's German report says outside it.

Sonnier's earliest experiments with neon and argon, previously presented at David Kordansky's New York gallery in 2024. Six works: the two earliest on view are Arced Neon (Cool White) and Arced Neon (Violet), both 1968, and the latest is Neon Wrapping Incandescent V (1970), in neon, porcelain fixtures and incandescent bulbs. The gallery places him alongside Eva Hesse, Bruce Nauman, Gordon Matta-Clark and members of the Fluxus group, and describes each work relying on the walls, ceilings and floors around it as a support.
