This was one of the first projects I worked on with Halo. It consists of a wrap-around LED screen covering the walls and ceiling of the dance floor. Here is a short extract from a description by Pete Brewis writing in Night Magazine, May 2007 issue:
"To help develop the concept, Guenancia brought in Gordon Haslett from the architectural side of the Halo consultancy team. Through a combination of detailed designs and CAD mock-ups, Haslett created a scheme to convert the curved railway arch into a five faced LED screen of Color Kinetics LED RGB nodes that would form the pixels for the screen. The first major consideration was the spacing between nodes, balancing the budget with the need for a dense enough arrangement to trick the eye into seeing a coherent picture – despite the arch’s restricted headroom."
See below for Anthony Dickenson's video for Groove Armada "I Won't Kneel" shot in the installation (the LEDs come into their own in the second half of the video).
