Oblique Time was an audio-visual performance featuring a custom light installation suspended above the audience. The installation moved in synchronization with music, creating an immersive multimedia experience.
Collaborators
This project was created in collaboration with: - Nick Verstand - Helena Basilova - Salvador Breed
Technical Achievement
The standout technical feature of this installation is that all power and data is fed through the thin winch cables, which makes it look like the narrow frame is almost floating freely in the air. This elegant engineering solution creates a visually stunning effect while maintaining full functionality.
JDT Engineering's Contribution
JDT Engineering provided comprehensive technical development for this project:
- Hardware Development: Complete electronics design for the light installation
- Custom Electronics: Specialized control systems for synchronized movement and lighting
- Steel Structure Engineering: Structural design and fabrication
- Power & Data Integration: Innovative solution for routing all systems through winch cables
Performance
The Oblique Time installation successfully delivered an immersive audio-visual experience, with the light installation responding dynamically to the musical performance while appearing to float effortlessly above the audience.
