I ca n’t remember the last time I noticed anything about a stage , versus the mass performing on it . Had I been at this yr ’s Coachella , I certainly would have ( mind - addle drugs aside)—the thing was a grumble LED supernova .
or else of the tired old “ vapid control surface with some speakers and spot ” glide path ( YAWN ) , Coachella team up with Vice’sCreators Project(itself a tag - squad operation with Intel ) to commission a gigantic fete setting that took a astounding five calendar month to create , from conception to public presentation .
There ’s nothing subtle about it . The stage , designed byUnited Visual Artists , looks designed to completely overwhelmed , essentially towering , speedily - lit wall of 2 m x 2 m x 2 m alloy cubes , stack atop each other into one massive 140 x 80 - foot superstructure . And it move . The superintendent - leg could open and shut like a giant ’s door , just in case 1.2 kilometers of LED strips were n’t enough to impress . On top of that , the stage was encrusted with 300 uplight ray , 80 overhead glare , and 10 strobe .
All synchronise , pixel by pixel , to a fundamental computer driven by unreleased Intel processing guts . At this point , pause and think about how many people in that audience were bombed out of their thinker on at least two or three extremely powerful narcotic ( from the faces in the video , you do n’t really demand to guess ! ) . I ’m sort surprised it did n’t just defeat them all from a complete central uneasy system overload .
