“Hyperjump” supported by Robe

Robe was a technical partner in the 2016 MIRA digital arts festival, staged for the first time in Berlin. Lighting designers Alexandr Letcius and Alexandr Sinitsa from the Russian based Tundra Collective utilised 34 x Pointes and 10 x Robe Strobes for their large scale sound and lighting sculpture “Hyperjump, presented in Recording Hall 2 of the Kultursaal Funkhaus which hosted the 2016 MIRA event.

“Hyperjump” was originally created by Tundra as a site specific installation in one of the halls of the former First Cadets Corps in St. Petersburg, since when it’s been toured to several other venues. The fixtures were rigged ‘randomly’ on trusses around the space according to a lighting plot and used to generate off-beat placement effects from any position in the installation space - similar to those created by trees in a forest.

This assists the “Hyperjump” concept of viewers exploring the space immediately around them. They stand within the installation complete with a sound system, and initially everything is fixed. Then, using randomly generated algorithms, the lights start to move and sounds are generated, all of which shifts notions about proximity of space and time and ideas about where you think you are. The lights can then return to a pre-set position to act as a geometric ‘marker’ for participants.

The control used was TouchDesigner and Ableton Live running via DMX over Ethernet. The Pointes were supplied via German rental company Satis&fy and the Strobes came directly from Robe in the Czech Republic.
