United Visual Artists and Constellation in Covent Garden
UVA present their latest responsive installation commissioned by Covent Garden as part of their Delight Christmas campaign this year. ‘Constellation' is a light-based sculpture which has been designed especially for the Covent Garden Market Halls.
TarmLED GmbH & Co. KG of Bochum, Germany supplied a total of 578, 2m long, double-sided, LED-strips, and 37 DPDUs (Data Power Distribution Units), to power the installation that has become the talk of the town after just a few days of operation.
In just 10 weeks TarmLED's engineers developed and produced double-sided, video-compatible LED-strips based on it's TarmLED Strip 25-modules that were premiered at the PLASA 2008 show. The LED strips were incorporated into polycarbonate tubes coated with a semitransparent reflective film, in accordance with UVA's design. Together with 37 customised TarmLED DPDU's, the tubes are allowed to hang elegantly in the space, as the DPDU's allow for cable runs of maximum 20m from the fixture using a single CAT5e cable carrying data and power to each fixture. The 25mm pixel spacing of the TarmLED STRIP and UVA?s regular grid layout of the tubes allow for spectacular 3D-displays of voluminous, complex, geometric patterns and effects. The system is entirely driven by UVA's d3 production system.
‘Constellation' is featured in the December issue of Entertainment Technology magazine.
