Lighting Appreciation: "Light Psalm" Light Show

The Lighting Show is a popular form of artistic performance in the West. It has an up-and-coming performance at EXPO 2000, at the Berlin Film Festival, at the Lyon Lighting Festival, and at the Milan International EUROLUCE.

In 2008, the performance of Z58 "Psychology of Light" was based on the high artistic conception of Chinese ancient poetry and German ancient poetry. With the art of lighting, music and multimedia, in the glimpse of the metropolis, ask our true "poetic settlement" where For us to create a spiritual apartment that precipits the urban background and filters the sounds.

"Poems of Light" Light Show (Lighting Show)

The concept of "Poetry of Light" is neither a floodlighting concept nor a simple decoration scheme. That night, the Z58 will bloom from within.

Lighting: facade

Entering the atrium of the Z58 flowing water, it was immediately surrounded by a bird voice. When you look around, you will see that Ivy is free to grow, twist, spread, and stretch in a beautiful posture on the water curtain wall. It is like being in the world.

Pedestrians walking on the periphery of the building can see the magical effect of the building's light through the ivy-hanging façade and stop to watch.

Content introduction: In 2008, the performance of Z58 "Psychology of Light" was based on the high artistic conception of Chinese ancient poetry and German ancient poetry. With the art of lighting, music and multimedia, in the glance of the metropolis, we asked our true poetic settlement. "Where, create a spiritual apartment that will precipitate the urban background and filter the sounds."

First floor: first floor

Entering the hall through the curtain wall, visitors will find themselves in front of the layered screen, which is the main theme of Z58 tonight - the flow of water and plants accompanied by microscopic and macroscopic artistic vision. Through the curtain wall, the multimedia device sprinkles the shadow on the ceiling and the ground, and has a penetrating effect. In the evening, the melodies carefully crafted by German musicians and Chinese composers will overflow the box of light.

　　 On the glass promenade on one side, long scrolls of Chinese, English and German are hung. The poems of Li Bai, Du Fu, Su Shi, YEATS and HOERDLIN jointly construct an ethereal and beautiful poetic space. The author of "Half-Life Half" is called Li Bai of Germany. He has a high reputation. This poem depicts the ethereal feeling of the soul, and the atmosphere on the entire first floor is very harmonious.

Floor: second floor

The audience enters the second floor via a staircase illuminated by neutral lighting. The original lighting exhibition hall was transformed into a fantasy forest by light and poetry. The intensity of blue and green light will fluctuate with time, and the light gives a new expression to the space, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. All existing forms produce unexpected effects due to the rendering of shades.

On the second floor, there are many masterpieces designed by Herbert. The idea is to combine them with music, light and rhythm to form a melodious poem.

The centerpiece on the second floor is the paper lamp of the famous master Ingo Maurer's Blushing Zettel'z. The artist joined hands with Thai Lighting to make a poetry workshop together. They displayed the poems used in the entire show on this piece of paper, making it a "poetry of light" in the form. There are modern poems of Beidao, Gucheng and Lin Biao, all related to vision.

Brecht's German poem "The Pastime" also appeared on it. As a famous philosopher and politician, Brecht lived a life of extravagance in his life. He was accompanied by beautiful wine and beauty. He wrote this poem in his 90s, but it is only unrelated. Things, and these are actually things that he looks back on in his life and are thought-provoking.

On this floor, the Psalm of Light is more specific. When you touch the various lamps designed by the masters, the light seems to be defined and bounded. The Psalm of Light seems to be more like a concrete, line-like and physical art... but is it really like this?

Third floor: third floor

The third floor of the Z58 is the office floor of Zhongtai Lighting. Zhongtai employees work here every day, they handle all kinds of affairs and find solutions. This is the same as the strange road in the world. I used a lot of light boxes here and used some photos of the road. The most interesting is the modern poetry readings recorded in advance. Among them, the German poem "Satisfaction" was read by Herbert's wife himself. She was a famous actor and she is currently broadcasting on the radio. In addition, there is 1 English poem and 2 Chinese modern poems. The English poem is selected from Robert Frost's "Snow Night, Forest Side encounter", which is closely related to the road theme on the light box. The selected "阡陌" also has such considerations.

This layer is a layer of meditation. As you walk through abstract, overlapping images and experience the “Ps in Light” of the form, here, there is a stop to listen to light and verses, as well as the human soul...

Fourth floor: fourth floor

One of the themes of the building is "The source of the cycle." When you pull back your thoughts from distant meditation and climb up the steps, you feel your soul is heavy, and the abstract pattern on the huge screen at the end of the stairs makes you think that this is the step to heaven. On the huge LED screen, it shows the three themes of human, universe and the growth of all things. As you step closer to the screen, your mind is caught and you can barely breathe.

Feel the reincarnation of the universe

Feel the reincarnation of the universe

When you reach the end and look back, you experience a creative radiance... The entire 4th floor is filled with a poetic, holy atmosphere, where the light, sound, energy, and the reincarnation of the universe seem to condense here. ...The light box is set on the shelf, showing three poems. Among them, the poems of Hanshan, rich in religious Zen, echoed the multimedia on the scene and the cold moonlight atmosphere created by the entire 4th floor. And the phrase "Wild ferry unmanned boat from the horizontal", the hollow blackboard shines white light through the light, and the white verse appears on the distant glass surface without any reason, forming an overlapping image. On the multimedia device on the water, the pattern of water droplets changes quietly, once again echoing the qualities of this building.

Rice paper creates a dreamy atmosphere in space, while light passes through two devices in the water to create a ripple effect on paper and silk, while the other two devices produce a verse projection on paper. When you lean over and read "Mingyue Songs, Qingquan Stones", the lights flow and the verses disappear. This is just a piece of white paper... Perhaps the real poem is in the heart.

Music echoes the scene, with electro-acoustic elements and natural scorpio.

The theme of the whole show is poetry. Poetry has enjoyed a high status in the history of China and Germany, but now it has been difficult and stupid. Concerns about people's stagnation and sensitivity to people's emotions have become precarious and unattended in the fast-paced life and convenient values. The obvious tendency toward money and success, as well as the pressure of time, make our life rhythm faster and we can't enjoy peace, which is just a component of everyday life.

At the same time as the show, a "time tunnel" consisting of white cloth will lead to the old house of the Rong family in Zeng Xiancheng.

time Tunnel

　　 The colored lights are reflected from the "Time Tunnel" to form a dynamic blur effect. When the guests passed through the "Time Tunnel", the old villas of Shanghai in the 1930s were displayed in front of them. The building's façade was dazzled by the lights, and various multimedia shows appeared on the old buildings that etched the impressions of the years. Top: The huge jellyfish is rampant; the splashes are scattered; the ivy entangles and spreads along the windows of the old houses...

When you haven't recovered from the shock of vision, a grand, fantasy "party of light" has been staged in front of you. In this old villa that has been abandoned for many years, Zhongtai has creatively divided it into a number of functionally independent areas: the ballrooms, cigar bars, bars, red bars, multimedia studios, and quiet bars of famous German musicians. ... and interspersed with it, Zhongtai used the synchronous video device to move the light show scene in the Z58 building to the old house where the old things were settled.

Take a welcome cocktail at the wine counter, and a live DJ on one side will catch you. There is a big screen, where the left-hand spotlights are placed to give the screen a variety of colors, and the large space connected to it is the dance floor. When people dance in it, various shadows appear on the screen, forming an interaction of light and shadow. The organizer invited the famous German composer, Christian Reuning, who wrote for the Berlin Film Festival and the 2000 World Expo, to give high-quality music to PARTY that night.

If you like to be quiet, you can taste a wonderful cigar from Brazil in a cigar bar with comfortable and spacious chairs. Or choose the red bar, the three or four premium wines that are served, will make the guests who like wine tasting enjoy a drink.

The quiet bar in the villa is filled with Kartell's transparent seats, and you can chat with the little ones. The lamps, furniture and creative flowers designed by the masters add a lot to the space. In some local spaces, the constant color of the lights makes the entire party's scene more psychedelic.

Two fancy bartenders were placed in front of the big bar to perform a bartending show, where a variety of beers, spirits, cocktails and other beverages were served, along with a high-profile table. The music is slowly shaken, the wine is mellow, and the black and white old movies on the wall, "Authentic Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Plain Guerrilla" shuttle the classic fragments, the history and reality are superimposed and disordered...

On the second floor of the villa, Zhongtai also designed a restaurant in an ingenious way, and the chef showed the cooking on the spot...

In the live music room, performances such as cello, violin and saxophone will also take turns. The modern LOGICO designed by Herzog de Mellon reflects the girl in the evening dress, and the long cello is so sick... In the multimedia studio, a multimedia video with the theme of “change” is played. The international and domestic history has made you feel very excited in just ten minutes.

The whole villa was transformed by light, and the function of each space was realized by light. In other words, light transforms the space and thus affects people's emotions. This is the most high-end night party that China's most professional lighting company wants to present to Shanghai.

Speaking of the design of the entire party lighting, Zhongtai's design team said that they did not make any adjustments to the wall and interior decoration, but completely used lighting to change the layout and function of the space and adjust people's emotions. “The way to use light is in what kind of environment you want to shape, and to create lighting effects according to the characteristics of the target atmosphere.” The application of color light, the design of key lighting, and the setting of light sources as needed... These are the means to achieve the goal. The visual temperature of light creates the temperature of the space to achieve the purpose of affecting emotions. In addition, light needs to be conveyed through the medium, including its own medium, and the effect of the material reflected by the light. Sometimes, people in the lighting environment will also become an important element of the space atmosphere.

When you are in such an atmosphere created by visual temperature, enjoying such a pause, a moment we observe and reflect, a moment we freely express and interpret, we let go of all the burdens from the outside world, wholeheartedly Listen to the inner self and pay attention to the inner emotions... When you can finally wash the lead, you will understand, in fact, the real poetry, is it not yourself?
