The Image Mill by AmbiancesMartin Gagnon and Ambiances lighted up The Image Mill, the world's largest multimedia outdoor projection, designed to celebrate Quebec City's 400th anniversary.
Gagnon, a long-time collaborator and friend of internationally- known Robert Lepage, was asked to join the design team which included artists and technicians known for their creative and technological skills.
Martin Gagnon's task was to create lighting effects that would subtly support a 40-minute narrative featuring multiple projections over the curved walls of 81 grain silos providing a 600-meter long and 30-meter high screen area.
Gagnon, who describes his interventions as "filigree work," had to play with the already rich and colorful textures of the videos, films and photographic images appearing on the silos.
More than 3000 RGB LED and over 200 moving-head LED spots, located along the silos' roofline were used to create lighting effects made possible thanks to a sophisticated set of controls.
For Martin Gagnon, working on The Image Mill was a real challenge since he "had to adapt theatrical concepts to an industrial context".
