: Jena: “Science City 2008”

: The video in preparation

“processes: living paintings” full façade projection with a corresponding light choreography, ambient music and synced sound effects shown on the 2/2/2008 in Jena, Germany. It was especially created for the 100th anniversary of the Phyletic Museum founded by Ernst Haeckel as well as the event „Jena illuminated“ being part of the opening ceremony for “Science City 2008”.

The façade of the museum was immersed in shimmering light by a 35 by 16 meter 2K-video using 3 projectors. To create a connection with the interior, every window was illuminated from the inside and synced with occurrences in the cinematic structure. Reacting sound effects tied everything even closer together. With this complex technical setup “processes: living paintings” was breathing life into the museum on that one and only winter night. Its multi-layered complexity freed the audience of around 20.000 to create their personal narrative flow and filled the museums square with a dense cloud of spellbound whisper...

Combination Records Label Night at Kassablanca Jena

Live-Visuals with double-projection on 48 umbrellas in combination with light-design, especially to the sound of Douglas Greed and some other artists. The umbrellas were masked in different ways for more flexibility in the projection. The keystoning-feature of MXWendler had reduced the installation time enormously.

Florian Licht studies Visual Communications at the Bauhaus University Weimar, where he is busy with projection- and lightdesign, video animation and interior design. Florians focusses on great club concepts using live-visuals and light-operating, but also big sport and fashion events.

He prefers MXWendler for its speed and responsiveness, the great keystoning and the high resolutions possible, more and more often on unusual and experimental surfaces. His footage consists of own produced videoclips, videoanimations and photos, which are combined in many different ways in MXWendler. Also the collaboration of MXWendler and the E:cue lighting control is a feature, that he won´t like to miss.
