A Jands <strong>Vista</strong> I3 console, running <strong>the</strong> next generation <strong>Vista</strong> v2 software, was<br />

specified by renowned installation artist and lighting designer Fred Pommerehn<br />

to control <strong>the</strong> lighting for a specially commissioned work on display as part of<br />

<strong>the</strong> World Wildlife Fund’s “Deutschland wird Wald Meister 2011” (Year of <strong>the</strong><br />

Forest) campaign in Berlin, Germany.<br />

WWF’s Year of <strong>the</strong> Forest<br />

The temporary installation – which was in<br />

place on <strong>the</strong> steps of <strong>the</strong> famous Konzerthaus<br />

in Berlin’s Gendarmenmarkt square – featured<br />

26 fabulous tree sculptures measuring up<br />

to six metres in height, each carefully<br />

crafted by Fred using recycled cardboard<br />

materials, and diligently lit for <strong>the</strong><br />

darkness hours.<br />

Fred’s inventive set design, sculptural<br />

and installation work embraces many<br />

disciplines and frequently involves lighting<br />

as an integral element. For <strong>the</strong> WWF<br />

event, Lichtblick Bühnentechnik supplied<br />

all <strong>the</strong> technical production – and also<br />

constructed <strong>the</strong> trees, project managed by<br />

Frederik Wehlmann.<br />

Fred Pommerehn has worked with <strong>the</strong><br />

Berlin based lighting rental company,<br />

Lichtblick Bühnentechnik GmbH for<br />

several years and always specifies Jands<br />

<strong>Vista</strong> to control any lighting on his<br />

projects. He explains that <strong>the</strong>re are many<br />

reasons for this, including <strong>the</strong> flexibility of<br />

<strong>the</strong> system and <strong>the</strong> speed at which he can<br />

achieve his aims, as he is often working<br />

on projects where <strong>the</strong> timeframe is a<br />

significant factor.<br />

It was <strong>the</strong> first event on which Lichtblick<br />

Bühnentechnik had used <strong>the</strong> I3 running<br />

on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Vista</strong> v2 software.<br />

“Using <strong>the</strong> Jands <strong>Vista</strong> allowed us to work<br />

very fast. Especially running with <strong>Vista</strong> v2.<br />

It really takes <strong>the</strong> complexity out of <strong>the</strong><br />

process, and allows you to concentrate on<br />

getting creative visual results fast.”<br />

- Fred Pommerehn<br />
