“Sogno o Son Seste”: the gobo projections for a renewed colour culture

“Sogno o Son Seste”: the gobo projections for a renewed colour culture

On Friday, July 13, the past and the future met in an embrace of light on the rampart of the Rocca di Vignola, a Modena fortification of 1200s. The original decorations and colours of the towers and bastions of the military artifact, owned by the Contrari family for a long time, are brought back to life: not for the lordship to be as mighty as it once was, this time it’s for the colour culture. The Fondazione di Vignola along with the visual design studio Apparati Effimeri presented the “SOGNO O SON DESTE”, a cultural project implemented in collaboration with the Cassa di Risparmio di Modena, Carife (Cassa di Risparmio di Ferrara) and BPER Bank funds.

Golux invades the French capital

Golux invades the French capital

Golux, a new series of Gobo Projector made by Goboservice, recently debuted internationally in Paris, projecting gobos on architectural works such as La Tour Eiffel, the “Invalides” dome, the Arc de Triomphe and the National Library. The four most important monuments have unintentionally been the backdrop to the self-promotional incursions of the well-known French artist, John Hamon – the “most famous unknown face of the capital” – as the media renamed it, whose enigmatic smile has recently become more renowned than that of the Gioconda, especially now that it has been projected with a powerful and concentrated beam of light on the monuments of Paris.

LED Lamps

LED Lamps

When we speak about LED lamps we actually mean LED luminaires that today are mainly of two types: SMD and COB. 
LED (or light emitting diode) is a light source based on a semiconductor diode. When it is on, the electrons are able to recombine with the “holes” inside the diode, releasing energy in the form of photons: this effect is called electroluminescence.
Both SMD and COB are made of different diodes, however the COB has a single circuit.
