Australian train The Ghan becomes an art installation and traveling projection

In order to promote the festival of light Parrtjima 2021, held annually in Australia, the mythical train The Ghan has been the protagonist of an immersive experience of projection and audio in one of its cars, team-based FujiFilm Z5000 HD and in the sound of L'Acoustics.

This annual festival of light of Australian Aboriginal culture, lasting ten nights (of the 9 to the 18 this April) of lighting shows, music performances, interactive workshops and film held in Alice Springs, has counted for its promotion and support with an artistic and traveling projection project.

The famous Australian luxury train The Ghan has changed his outside image, with the printed work of the Aboriginal artist Chantelle Mulladad, who has created a moving canvas with decals from 23,5 metre, for each of the three train cars, according to the project AGB Events for NT Tourism, who travels 2.797 km. between Darwin, north, and Adelaide (South Australia).

To turn the inside of a wagon into a traveling light installation, AGB Events used digital images of Ranges Show 2019, a spectacle of light and sound projected on 2 km. of the MacDonnell mountain range and that for this occasion is done on the wall that covers the entire carriage, accompanied by a musical composition and narration.

The screening show, ten minutes long, has counted on the collaboration of the company Novatech, Adelaide-based and AGB Events technical partner, to supply the projector ultra-short distance FujiFilm Z5000 HD, with a power of 5.000 Lumens, and the screen (2.7×1,6 metre) that covered the width of the car.

It has also been responsible for the lighting system, controlled by RGB DMX, and audio from L'Acoustics, all programmed and managed with the system QLab, with the aim of creating an immersive environment in this unique moving space that travels through Australia.

This artistic project in support of this year's Parrtjima festival has been known across the country and internationally and, as the organization points out, "lays a solid foundation for Parrtjima's success 2022, that will take place in the 8 to the 17 April next year".
