Project Description
Birds in (f)light, AV development
Nimes, “La Coupole”, 2016
Located between the sea and the Cevennes hills, Nîmes is one of the most attractive towns in Mediterranean France. The city was established by the Romans, and has the finest collection of Roman remains and traditions in France. All the streets in the city center lead to the marketplace of Nimes. In the modern age this old marketplace was placed indoors and after many decades the building needed a big refreshment. Completed with a new centerpiece where the bird of “La Coupole” played a big role. Leisure Expert Group was tasked to create the illusion of dynamics and movement of a static mobile bird frame.

The construction process
Birds in (f)lights was created by mounting small but powerful RGB light modules inside the small bodies of translucent birds, which we meticulously engineered into a system with long cables to a custom build frame with standard track rails. The clean flock of birds dynamically change color and give the illusion of movement. Also, with the flexible mounting the client can change the birds in to any track mounted object with or without light.
