Award Presentation for Opus and Sinus Honors
Thursday Night Thrills at Prolight + Sound 2022
The winners of the Opus and Sinus Awards were showered with accolades during the Prolight + Sound 2022 ceremony.
Daring Duo Takes Home the Opus
The Opus Award, a Prolight + Sound staple, acknowledges exceptional live event productions. This year, the honors were bestowed upon two distinct projects, each tackling the pandemic-induced obstacles in their unique ways.
First among the winners is the Dionysos Stadt Open Air, showcasing extraordinary courage and creativity. Stationed in an impressive setting, this open-air extravaganza provided a cultural respite to a larger audience while adhering to all restrictions during the sweltering summer of 2021.
Meanwhile, the creators of the Woodkid @ ZDF Magazin Royal project ventured into uncharted technical territory by crafting an innovative augmented reality experience from necessity. Their efforts netted them the newly-minted "Opus AVantgard" — the award celebrates groundbreaking avant-garde work that showcases technological or staging trends of the future.
Bassins de Lumières Glows Bright at Sinus Awards
The Sinus Awards have been showering praise on the most promising system integration solutions in AV media technology for over a decade. This year's purpose: celebrate innovative uses of technology in audiovisual installations.
In Bordeaux, France, young Parisian art collective Culturespaces unveiled the Bassins de Lumières — the largest digital art center worldwide. Converted from a former submarine base, the center opened its doors to the public in June 2020.
Visitors immerse themselves in a vibrant world of colors and images while listening to music, as they explore the works of key artists from art history and contemporary art via digital exhibits.
