Pont du Gard Hosts PixelLine Extravaganza
French company Group F, who were responsible for the fireworks in the opening ceremony of the Turin winter Olympics, were asked to design a 20-minute spectacle encompassing the structure of the Pont de Gard Roman aqueduct near Nimes in the south of France, featuring lighting, video, fireworks and music.
68 PixelLine 110s and 12 PixelBricks were installed on the third level of the aqueduct and eight PixelLine 1044s were installed on the ground. The PixelRange luminaires were so bright that they had to be dimmed to 70% in order to match the colours of the other lighting fixtures!
The spectacular show was shown in all its glory against the blackened sky and such a success that another one is already in production for June 2007 - although next time the designers plan to use only PixelLines between 150 – 180 fixtures!
All the lighting was supplied by Montpellier based Texen and the extra PixelLines were sub hired from the Waldeck Organisation of Aix en Provence.
