For RTE and Creative Ireland’s Shine your Light Solstice nationwide broadcast, Algorithm and Thinkhouse were commissioned to deliver a series of spectacular projection installations across Ireland.
BRIEF
The brief was to elevate a collection of Irish artists from the Illuminations series by projecting their work on a monumental scale, in conjunction with filming these spectacles for social and broadcast on RTÉ One, Ireland’s primary national TV channel.
THE IDEA
Projections would illuminate sites across 6 counties with work from Irish artists, a choreographed performance and accompanying light show would bring the passage tomb of Knowth to life. The oldest known sundial would be used as a projection surface to film as a backdrop for live poets and artists.
RESULT
This project’s immense scale manifested as a fitting celebration of the end of 2020 and the significance of the winter solstice in Irish culture. The 6 spectacles were filmed and reported on the RTE news - which had close to 1 million viewers. The TV special itself was a huge success and was seen nationwide live on TV.
