Denmark - On the evening of 17 January 17th, Danmarks Radio (DR), Denmark's national public service broadcaster, christened its new Concert Hall in °restaden with a series of eclectic concerts, an event that also marked the debut of the building's innovative animated façade.

As opera, classical, jazz, pop and rock resounded through the venue's four studios, the exterior of the building came alive in a mix of light, colour and pattern from Martin Professional Exterior 1200 Image Projectors.

The idea for the flexible façade was created by celebrated French architect Jean Nouvel, designer of the new arts venue. Eight designers, five technicians and creative manager at DR then realised the complex solution.

A total of 34 Martin Exterior 1200 Image Projectors cast colour changing light and moving images onto the building's 14,000sq.m façade.

DR chose Danish companies Martin Professional and local dealer Informationsteknik Scandinavia, technical and main creative supplier for the project, to realise the exterior illumination. "I'm convinced that the façade's art projection will draw the attention of citizens and tourists alike, and will act as an appetizer for activities within the Concert Hall," says Niels Bull Klarskov, division manager at Informationsteknik.

"DR is an absolute front runner within this field. At the same time, we see a clear tendency globally where companies are increasingly opening towards the possibility of creating experiences, atmospheres and messages with the right technology and expertise," says Christian Engsted, CEO of Martin Professional.
