For this year’s Voodoo Village electronic music festival in Belgium, organisers approached rene.studio to create a stage and concept design deviating from any conventional approach to live performance. The goal from the outset was to push creative boundaries and arrive at a one-of-a-kind experience.
Creative Director Rene Van Dijk began with a question—how could the creative team blend genuine lighting sources seamlessly with artificial, digital sources in real-time to give the impression of continuity between the physical and virtual? To accomplish this, they used a semi-transparent LED screen with four movable heads positioned behind and attached in pairs to trusses; they could then be repositioned along the X and Y axes by a motor system.
