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 />
