Grec Festival 2022: Resilience by LedsC4
Europe is the featured continent of the 2022 edition of the Grec Festival, and LedsC4 invites the public to step into its interactive installation “Resiliencia” in the gardens of the Teatre Grec in Montjuïc. This immersive lighting experience highlights the immense capacity of new generations to overcome the obstacles and traumatic circumstances we’ve experienced recently – such as COVID-19, the war in Ukraine or the climate crisis.
Along the main line of the garden you can find the “digitotems” – lighting features custom designed by LedsC4 for this installation. These elements have a 2.5-metre-high vertical body that blends in with the surroundings. Their function is to create an interactive space, with a feeling of calm with warm white, blue and lilac tones, while allowing the user to interact using a button that will trigger an environment of chaos – with red, black and white moving light – which will conjure up fleeting feelings of instability in the user before calm is restored.
On the side paths the colour used for the lighting is lilac – representing reflection and human beings’ capacity for empathy. Warm white has been chosen for the restaurant and rest area, offering a sense of security and calmness to the user while creating a haven at the end of the walk through the installation.
To conceptualise and bring the idea of “Resiliencia” to life, LedsC4 has collaborated with the Catalan company ProtoPixel, which, through its lighting platform has been able to deliver the vision and mission of light in this project by co-designing three main light expressions. These light contents have been programmed to be projected on the eighteen 2.5-metre-high digital totems that are strategically distributed along the main walkway of the garden. When a visitor activates the button, the scene is interrupted and the pre-programmed sequence activated.
