A Pharos Lighting Playback Controller (LPC X) controls the continuous fluid motion, displaying dramatic geometric and organic patterns across the sculpture, generating stunning visual and audio effects.
Drivers for the mechanical switching were pre-designed to receive RS232 serial data rather than DMX, so Pharos developed and implemented a custom control protocol to allow seamless communication with the sculpture's RS232 flip-dot drivers. This then allowed Troika to utilise Pharos Designer software's pixel mapping and lighting media effects to create the animations of the Cloud.
