Chauvet's Colorado Panel Q40 fixtures used at VivaTech Paris

The Misk Foundation stand at the VivaTech Paris conference, held at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in May 2019, featured an overhead matrix conceived by design firm Ochre and built by Level Exhibitions. The lighting design, created by Big Fish SRL, included Chauvet Professional Colorado Panel Q40 fixtures.

The RGBW fixtures were used to create transformative patterns of shadows and brightness. "Our directive was to cross-illuminate the honeycomb structure and thereby create shadows and varied light intensities across it in random directions," says Steve Hubbard of Big Fish SRL.

The Big Fish SRL team, which in addition to Steve Hubbard included Ryan Hubbard and Robert James Lloyd, had one week to complete their design following the initial phone call from their client. Given the weight restrictions on each trussing point of the overhead structure, the compact size of the Colorado Q40 Panel was essential to helping the team install the lighting system.

"We were able to set up the W-DMX connection to our phones with a QR code scan, a feature which also saved us from having to figure out what to do with all those unsightly connecting wires and ethernet cables," continues Hubbard.

While the Misk stand’s initial design brief called only for varying levels of white color temperatures, this changed after the client had a chance encounter with the Colorado Panel Q40. "Quite by chance, the client saw us playing with the color mixing capabilities of the fixture and decided to modify the design," concludes Hubbard.
