Idea: Going up high
Birgit Zander, producer and creative director of the Festival of Lights, staged a show of superlatives in cooperation with the participating agencies – on the Berlin TV tower. Germany’s tallest building was transformed into a gigantic antenna that received signals from the intergalactic star fleet. Spectacular animations on the tower took the audience on a flight through unknown universes.
Implementation: An experience as far as the eye can see
Spectators at the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS 2017 experienced a spectacular 3D mapping show on the Berlin TV tower. The event was widely visible in Berlin and on social networks.
