About The Heart of Siberia Espectáculo de Iluminación Urbana

O Corazón de Siberia é un espectáculo permanente de luz e son no centro de Krasnoyarsk, Rusia. O espectáculo conecta unha ponte peonil de 540 metros, un centro museístico e unha sala de concertos nun único sistema dinámico de iluminación. O sistema emprega máis de 15.000 píxeles controlados, 2.000 lámpadas lineais e dúas fachadas de medios LED, xestionadas por armarios de automatización personalizados. Os escenarios inícianse automaticamente segundo un calendario e tamén poden modificarse de forma remota. Nove capítulos empregan a cor para evocar o río Ienisei, a taiga e outros símbolos rexionais. A instalación resiste temperaturas de ata menos 40 graos Celsius.

It also became the first stationary light&sound show in Russia.

The show is supported by original sound and striking visual content based on dynamic light solutions and spectacular optical illusions.

Production Technology
The lighting system includes over 15,000 RGBW-controlled pixels, 2,000 linear RGBW lamps and 2 LED media facades. They form a system of more than 200 DMX universes with over 100,000 DMX addresses managed by 100 custom automation cabinets. There are several scenarios of its work, launched automatically according to the schedule. If needed, they can be changed or launched remotely. The technical solution withstands harsh winters with strong winds and temperature up to -40 degrees Celsius.
Design Challenge
The most difficult task was to translate and interpret the content from the visual language to the dots and lamps on the bridge. Video shows us the whole and indivisible wave but in the reality it is made of thousands of tiny lamps scattered along the bridge cables.
Research
Research started with list of the main locations and themes, connected with the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The show is divided into 9 chapters, each one represents immanent subject of the Krasnoyarsk region: Yenisei river (blue color); Taiga, the boreal forest (green); Gold Rush (golden); Heart of Siberia as the synonym of Krasnoyarsk (red); Steel Mill (orange sparks); Krasnoyarsk Pillars (yellow and orange); Krasnoyarsk Hydroelectric Power Station (light blue); mountains (purple); snow and ice (icy).
Inspiration
The plot of the show reflects genius loci of the city, its natural surroundings and unique features. Due to the physical limitations of the working surfaces it was impossible to display realistic images on the architectural objects except media facades, so the show is based on the emotional design concept with the associative color and visual row, containing symbols of Krasnoyarsk, such as the Yenisei river, Krasny Yar, Krasnoyarsk Pillars etc.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2019 in Krasnoyarsk, Russia and is still running during the city holidays.
Operation Flow
The main goal of this project was to transform the urban environment of the Krasnoyarsk city center from the unpleasant place, which doesn’t inspire people into a recreation zone for walking and leisure. Nowadays the reality shows, how the center of Krasnoyarsk is changing and becomes more and more favorable and beloved by local people and tourists from Russia and other countries. The show “The Heart of Siberia” become a sightseeing and one of the visiting card of the city.
