Theatrical Lighting
Martin Gagnon ve Ambiances, Québec’in
400. y›ldönümünü kutlamak amac›yla tasarlanan dünyan›n en büyük aç›k mekan multimedya platformu Image Mill’in ayd›nlatmas›n›
üstlendi. Martin Gagnon temel hedefini, 81
adet tah›l ambar›n›n kavisli duvarlar› üzerine
40 dakikal›k bir hikaye yans›tmak ve bu do¤rultuda 600 metre uzunlu¤unda 30 metre yüksekli¤inde bir ekran oluflturmak olarak belirlemifl. Proje esnas›nda karfl›laflt›¤› en önemli
zorlu¤un “telkari-tel ifli” oldu¤unu belirten
Gagnon; bu süreçte videolar›n, filmlerin ve fotografik imgelerin halihaz›rda son derece zengin ve renkli dokular› üzerinde oynama yapmak durumunda kalm›fl. Tah›l ambarlar›n›n
çat› k›s›mlar›na yerlefltirilmifl 3binin üzerinde
RGB LED ve 200 oynar bafll›kl› LED spotla yap›land›r›lan tasar›mda, oldukça etkili bir kontrol mekanizmas› sayesinde istenen ayd›nlatma efektleri elde edilebilmifl. Martin Gagnon
için Image Mill üzerinde çal›flmak, “tiyatral
konseptleri endüstriyel bir ba¤lama oturtmak” noktas›nda oldukça zorlu bir süreç gerektirmifl.
Güçlü bir sonuç elde edebilmek amac›yla mimarl›k ve mühendislik gibi pek çok farkl› di68
siplinden beslenen bir ekiple çal›flan Gagnon,
sonuç olarak oldukça etkili ayd›nlatma ve video efektleri elde etmifl. Belirlenen görsel
stratejileri proje içine tam anlam›yla entegre
edebilmek amac›yla Ambiances, tasar›m sürecinin en bafl›ndan itibaren global anlamda
mümkün oldu¤unca iflbirlikçi bir yaklafl›m benimsemifl. International Association of Lighting Designers üyesi olan ve enerji tasarrufu
ve sürdürülebilir geliflim gibi ilkeleri derin anlamda benimsedi¤i bilinen Martin Gagnon,
LEED sertifikal› projelerdeki tutumlu kat›l›m›
ile de bu yaklafl›m›n› destekliyor.
■ Martin Gagnon and Ambiances had lighted
up The Image Mill, the world's largest multimedia outdoor projection, designed to celebrate
Québec City’s 400th anniversary. Martin Gagnon’s task was to create lighting effects that
would subtly support a 40-minute narrative featuring multiple projections over the curved
walls of 81 grain silos providing a 600-meter
long and 30-meter high screen area. Gagnon,
who describes his interventions as “filigree
work,” had to play with the already rich and co-
lorful textures of the videos, films and photographic images appearing on the silos. More
than 3000 RGB LED and over 200 moving-head LED spots, located along the silos’ roofline
were used to create lighting effects made possible thanks to a sophisticated set of controls.
For Martin Gagnon, working on The Image Mill
was a real challenge since he “had to adapt
theatrical concepts to an industrial context”.
Using lighting and video effects to create powerful branding tools, Martin Gagnon and his
multidisciplinary team have developed over the
years a close relationship with architects, engineers and other professionals. In order to fully
integrate visual strategies in a project, Ambiances favors a global collaborative approach at
the earliest possible stage of the design process. Martin Gagnon is a member of the International Association of Lighting Designers and
is committed to principles of energy conservation and sustainable development as confirmed by his participation in many LEED certified projects.
