ARTISTIC INTERVENTION projects
Fête des Lumières de Lyon 2012 Festival of Lights Lyon 2012
Client: Lyon City Council Location: Regional Hall, Lyon (69), France Date of design of the project: 2012
For the Festival of Lights, Atelier H. Audibert designed a nocturnal multimedia creation on the Regional Council Building, located in the new Confluence district. This installation of lights, video projections and sounds aimed to reveal the fascination of the emergence of the new Regional Council. A cloud of steam (formed using 2160 using diffusers distributed throughout a series of ramps offset from the building) would bathe the north-western edge of the building in a thick fog, which would gradually dissipate. The building would then emerge like a butterfly from its chrysalis, its epidermis studded with synthetic images (projected by devices installed inside and outside the building). The pixelation would be increased gradually to reveal the structure of the building, as with an X-ray scan. The show was to last 5 to 7 minutes and would be repeated several times during the evening, accompanied by a musical composition.
