Arte efémera em larga escala

Os espectáculos de luzes 4D estão a entrar na moda. O show da Nokia na torre Milliband em Londres é um dos casos mais recentes (28 de Novembro de 2011). Ao vivo, devem ser impressionantes.

“Each of the 120m high building’s 800 windows were covered with vinyl as 16 projectors beamed 3D images onto the structure. Huge butterflies flew across the London skyline and the tower was twisted, pulsated and even fell down. The show was accompanied by music from producer deadmau5, who created exclusive remixes for the performance. (http://creativity-online.com/work/nokia-uk-nokia-lumia-live/25409).

Estas descomunais manifestações de arte efémera lembram os megaconcertos do barroquíssimo Jean-Michel Jarre. Em 1979, assisti ao concerto do 14 de Julho na Place de la Concorde, em Paris. Reuniu cerca de 1 milhão de pessoas. Onze anos mais tarde, na Défense,  atrai mais de 2 milhões de espectadores!

“This concert spectacular transformed the skyscrapers and surrounding buildings of ‘La Defense’ into living sculptures through the magic of giant projections, spectacular lighting effects, lasers and fireworks, all synchronised with the music from the central pyramidical stage. A harmonious combination of the past and the present, the baroque and the high tech, ecology and technology, a vision of the Opera of the 21st century” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHJ2sCIe6CI&feature=related).
