Lima - Installation
DJ Light (DJ Luz), Lima 2010 from Cinimod Studio on Vimeo.
DJ Light is an immersive public sound and light installation that gives visitors the power to orchestrate an awe-inspiring performance of light and sound across a large public space. It was created for energy company Endesa as the cornerstone of their Christmas celebrations in Lima, Peru.
DJ Light is about the exhilaration of one person taking control over a massive space and manipulating the incredible array of light and sound within it using nothing more than their own body. It is an empowering experience where the public is invited to be the artist.
The installation consists of 85 giant globes of light, each capable of displaying millions of colours. As the "guest DJ" assumes their position on the podium, they can use their arms to point and gesture. These movements are translated in real-time into beautiful movements of light and generative sound across the space.
Cinimod Studio are known for their innovative use of technologies, and it is therefore no surprise that "DJ Light" employs some truly innovative technologies. The main controlling hardware and software utilised for DJ Light was made especially for the project, and combines years of on-going research and development.
Each of the inflatable globes contain custom LED lighting, designed and fabricated for maximum controllability and energy efficiency. Each globe has a unique identity that allows the colour to be controlled from the main DJ podium. Suspended above the podium is a high accuracy thermal tracking camera that has been developed by Cinimod to allow for live tracking of the "guest DJ". By tracking every movement of the person below, this camera communicates control signals to the main software programme that is responsible for the live sound and light generation.
With over 400 channels of lighting control and a multi-directional sound system, DJ Light is comprised of a technically advanced set-up. However it is the intention and desire of Cinimod Studio that the focus of the public should be on the beautiful and ephemeral effect of the artwork, rather than on the technology that underlies it.

Tirana - Enver Hoxha Mausoleum
Tirana - Enver Hoxha Mausoleum
The Enver Hoxha pyramid
Albania will tear down a pyramid-shaped landmark built as a museum for the late Stalinist dictator Enver Hoxha, opening the way for a new parliament building, according to a new law.
"We can no longer keep a place that holds the ghost of the dictator," parliamentary deputy Enkeleid Alibeaj said. "We shall build a new complex where the spirit of democracy will thrive."The bill passed with the votes of 72 deputies out of 74 present. The opposition Socialist Party has boycotted parliament recently in protest at what it says is electoral fraud, a chronic problem in Albania's young democracy.
Built shortly after Hoxha died in April 1983, the pyramid on Tirana's main thoroughfare displayed items and photographs of the Albanian leader who kept Stalinism alive in Europe for decades after the Soviet dictator died in 1953.
Shaped into a cement and glass pyramid from the street level, it resembles an eagle with spread wings from the air. It was turned into a cultural centre after communism's fall.
Plans to build a new parliament to honour the 100th anniversary of Albania's independence after 500 years of Ottoman domination have divided the small nation of 3.2 million because of feelings about the building's history, architecture and cost.
The government earlier spent about five million euros to turn the building into a theatre and more than half a million euros to renovate the current chamber before it decided to build a new parliament building.
