Minor Figures chose our 3 x 4 Panasonic TV wall to be a focal point for their event at The London Coffee Festival.

Emmyland came back to us for another CRT monitor install for BSC Expo which was held at Battersea Evolution, London. For this years show they went for a mixture of stacked monitors that were installed in a cool '90s bedroom set. Of course they continue to disrupt, whilst retaining their excellent reputation. We love working with companies that have ambition, raise the bar and disrupt.

The visuals were from the deep archive of 35mm slides and included line drawings of topography, chain link fences, disco dancers, leaf skeletons to name a few. Read more...

Such a thrill to be involved in this project, contributing towards the analog atmosphere of Pulp's recent tour. Our collection of vintage disco lights, 'homemade' cassette effects and general lighting experimentation is endless. We have evolved creatively alongside advancing technologies, so it was a natural fit to invite Pulp's creative team to our studio to find inspiration and to film lighting effects.

We worked with Mike Faulkner of D-Fuse to produce a version of their latest work 'Nine Earths' for an immersive show at Roundhouse, Camden which explores the relationships between ordinary lives and humanity's excessive demand for the Earths resources. We provided media player synchronisation for video and audio. technical support and set up. The complexity of this work is in its simultaneous, overlapping narratives. Read more...

This large scale immersive installation at Spruth Magers is part of McCall's 'solid light' works that occupy a space between cinema, sculpture and drawing. The sculptural forms that are created by projecting through heavily hazed spaces are very much a cultural touchstone for us. Read more ...

We were invited to take part in [Light Sounds Festival](https://lightsounds.uk/) at Richmix by bringing our Liquid Light workshop to this experimental audio visual festival. As ever our six participants started out with more or less the same materials, yet their results are absolutely unique. What a pleasure to meet the participants, and what a joy to get into the Liquid zone for this Sunday workshop. A special mention to Pat Grimm @patgrimm who joined us to pass on her skills and techniques.

Tree Circle Cinema is an annual community event that happens very locally to us in Millfields Park. It has grown slowly from grass roots experimental idealism and has developed sponsorship relationships within the community. Each year an outdoor cinema takes place in the natural auditorium of Millfields Park - the tree circle. An outdoor screen and projection booth are erected, films are wrangled, families turn up, sit down, chat and watch a movie in the open air. Read more...

We took on the job of mending the LED screens that form part of an iconic sculpture. Rainbow Dude's sunglasses had stopped working and needed some brand new content. The sculpture is a seven meter smiling rainbow character that was created by Paul Insect, commissioned by Emily Eavis in 2019 and designed and built by Creative Giants. He is an icon of Glastonbury Festival and needed a bit of LED expertise from us to bring him back to his former glory. Read more...

We designed this in-the-round CRT installation to enable the client to get bang for their buck! The installation feels quite monumental as the stacks are organised in a cylindrical form but rather than a solid block, they are arranged with gaps allowing a view through. This set up worked particularly well in the window where 360 degrees of it could be seen from both the interior and the exterior of the Royal Festival Hall.

This pared down technology store has the coolest graphics that work so brilliantly on our small CRT stacks. We provided kit and content playback as well as a neat short throw projector for a merch area. The analogue equipment slots in so neatly to the elegant and minimal store design. Read more ...

Emmyland kickass at BSC Expo. A great use of the Seleco CRT monitor wall was our recent outing to BSC Expo where we installed a 20 monitor wall for Emmyland.

Our Clay Paky Astrospider had such a great trip around the UK for the filming of Whitesand Bay for Metronomy. Such a simple and elegant idea from our friends and collaborators Sam Davies and Tom Andrew. Beautifully shot and edited it makes complete sense!

A lovely collaboration with our friends at Greenaway and Greenaway to supply, produce and install pop up projections in a few empty shops on Leytonstone High Road. The shops are lit on Fridays and Saturdays in December 2020 as part of Walthamforest Council's incentive to bring life and joy into Leytonstone Town Centre this Christmas.

We worked closely with the Barbican to manage the content preparation, technical set up and operation of an ambitious film festival, wrangling over one hundred films in numerous formats for seven different venues across the three days of the festival. It was a weekend of diverse films in the heart of Leytonstone and our job was to make sure that each show was a smooth and seamless audience experience. Highlights were John Smiths talk, Eithne Nightingale's s Ugwumpiti and Agnes Varda The Gleaners and I.

For the last 25 years we have been taking a bus-mans holiday to a perfect corner of Cornwall to perform outdoor projections for a very small but culturally important festival where the combination of live music, dj's, performers and poets is an annual joy and surprise.

One of our first projects as lockdowns lifted was to light these beautiful paintings by Ryan Driscoll for Soft Opening. Each piece was lit with a tightly focussed beam, precisely trimmed to the edges of the canvas creating. The gallery lighting was kept to minimal levels creating a quiet encironment that allowed the paintings to clearly punctuate the space.

Making Places and Walthamforest Council commissioned us to complete a lighting and sound installation in Larkshall Underpass, Chingford. This dimly lit underpass has been uplifted with the use of birdsong and a sunset/sunrise lighting pallet. The lighting is programmed to gently fade through colour cycles whilst bursts of birdsong play out intermittently throughout the day. 'Lark' has been shortlisted for the Darc Awards 2020.

We were delighted to be invited to design and install an architects' Christmas party for the third year running. From our Rare Disco hire stock we used the Clay Paky Astro Spider and Fabtronics Harvester. We used festoon lighting in vertical drops, Encapsulite Sticklites, Martin Rainbow, Mode Arcline, Prolights Lumipix8h Battens, Unique2 Hazer, Slides and Solars. The sequencing is the fun bit.

We worked with Luke Losey to create darkness and light. Using synchronised slide projectors and low level atmospheric lighting Imelda May's performance 'Hallowed' was an experimental return to her love of performance poetry. Strobe lights and lamp drops animated overhead raven silhouettes to create a dramatic shadow play.

We thought this was a great shot of what actually happens behind the scenes at a high end furniture shoot! We provided photographer Thomas Brown with some large scale projections to bounce off some very shiny surfaces as part of the scenography for his furniture shoot for Wallpaper magazine.

We pulled off a series of monumental projections on Central London landmarks for the launch of Thom Yorke's new solo album. Projections at Marble Arch, Big Ben and Tate Modern asked the viewer "Do you have trouble remembering your dreams?" and "You’re deep in a surreal world where you can be anybody you like, where you can do anything. And then when you wake up, the dream fades. It’s gone, or is it?" "Just call the number.”

We designed Super Moon projections with a starscape created with our Clay Paky Astroraggis for this recent event. This is what our client had to say about it: "A huge thank you to @insightlighting for understanding what I wanted and being such a pleasure to work with. We can't thank you guys enough. You made it look so magical 🌜🔮 we will be recommending you to everybody"
