When design studio Chevalvert first unveiled Murmur, a light installation that “simulates the movement of sound waves,” the possibilities for the galactic audiovisual medium seemed boundless. That was two years ago, and now the team has amplified the very same technology and aesthetic to a grander scale in a live performance with music group ALB at the Les Victoires de la musique 2015.

For the performance, titled Murmur Whispers, Chevalvert connected a futuristic Pleyel piano created by the Peugeot Design Lab, and custom drums, to a 400 square-meter-large video projection screen. Behind the scenes, a Raspberry Pi computer and openFrameworks translated sound waves into LED fireworks and nebulas in real-time as ALB played “Whispers Under the Moonlight.” Chevalvert led the production and artistic direction, and collaborated on project development with 2roqs studio.

The team previously described Murmur as, “an architectural prosthesis that enables the communication between public and the wall upon which it is connected.” With Murmur Whispers, their goal of human-tech interaction is more real than ever.

The festival kicks off next month

There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.

Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.

The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.

The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from February 9 to February 20 and is organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.

The festival brings a kaleidoscope of creative lights and colour to Sharjah’s architecture. Diverse locations are featured during the annual show, with light and sound spectacles that transform them. (Have your camera ready.) The festival uses energy-saving lighting technology and all the lights and projectors used have passed certification for environmental compliance.

The Sharjah Light Festival also showcases the emirate’s rich heritage and historical monuments. Local and international artists, musicians and light technicians collaborate to showcase the emirate’s achievements.
