Kunstkraftwerk’s Devon Miles chooses Optoma

A recent art installation at a power plant in Leipzig, Germany, used 55 shortthrow Optoma Proscene projectors to incorporate contemporary art with the industrial structure, creating a hugely immersive experience where guests feel like they’re moving through the artwork.

Devon Miles, who oversees immersive video art at Kunstkraftwerk, says the artist Gianfranco Ianuzzi warned him not to “lose a pixel”.

“I knew that we had to preserve as many pixels as possible,” Miles says.

“Some parts of the video content are 17000 x 1920 pixels. We were heavily relying on the lens shift feature since the projectors were to be mounted at very steep angles to achieve the maximum projection area.”

"We chose the EH503 because it offered the most complete set of features in that price range. The network feature especially came in handy and enabled us to change various parameters on all projectors at once.”
