Protopixel presents two new lighting projects

ProtoPixel, the professional lighting design platform for companies, institutions, establishments and leisure, located in Barcelona’s Creative District, has just presented two lighting projects with state-of-the-art technology in which it has taken part, which confirm its professional quality as a benchmark company in the sector, providing space for projects with a functional and emotional character. 

At first, the Poblenou-based company was commissioned by The Core School, a Madrid-based educational center of international reference for professionals within the leisure and audiovisual entertainment industry, to develop a project with an installation that would incorporate a functional character. 

In mid-2021, Ignasi Llauradó, CEO and Creative Director of the deardesign studio, contacted ProtoPixel with the aim of illuminating and animating the school’s atrium in a functional, dynamic and youthful way. 

The main goal of the project was to find the best way to achieve functional lighting without losing the energy of the youngest. Therefore, with the help ofardesign, they created 6 different lighting contents through ProtoPixel Create, their lighting design software.

Each of them achieves a unique and singular atmosphere for each moment of the students’ journey. 

To achieve the full experience of managing luminaires like a professional, they worked with the ProtoPixel Spaces app, which allows everyday users to easily organize and control lighting projects. Thanks to it, different environments can be easily changed according to the different needs of the school. 

The more emotional side, in which Protopixel has been involved lately, came with the project Vestivular_1, an immersive, experiential and artistic audiovisual installation. 

Esta instalación induce a la audiencia sensaciones ilusorias de movimiento propio en completa oscuridad mediante la interrupción temporal de su funcionamiento vestibular. Relacionado con el equilibrio y el control espacial, el sistema vestibular se encuentra ubicado en la oreja interna del ser humano. 

This installation induces illusory sensations of self-motion in complete darkness by temporarily interrupting the audience’s vestibular functioning. Related to balance and spatial control, the vestibular system is located in the inner ear of the human being. 

These illusory sensations of movement are achieved through powerful specific patterns and configurations of light and sound stimulus that, in the dark, persist in the retina and auditory system. 

The work of Albert Barqué-Duran and Marc Marzenitm is a BEEP Collection 2020 production based on the investigation developed by Laboratorio VeME (Vestibular multisensory direction), from the

London University, and can be seen on the next November 18th at Cosmo Caixa.
