Quebec City has gone big, big, big, with the world’s largest multimedia projection, created by Robert Lepage and Ex Machina.
Since June 20, The Image Mill has been lighting up Quebec City’s Old Port grain silos to celebrate the city’s 400th anniversary.
This stunning multimedia experience tells the story of Quebec City’s history in four chapters corresponding to the city’s four centuries of history: waterways, the age of exploration and discovery; road building, clearing and developing the land; the railroad and industrial expansion; and finally, the age of air travel and the development of communications. The scenes use the entire 81 grain silos that have been transformed into a huge screen of 600 metres long by 30 metres high. Watching a train drive across the silos in one scenario is sheer visual excitement.
The entire south side of the Louise Basin from Pointe-à-Carcy to the western extremity of the basin, is wired for sound with speakers. A total of 329 speakers, 27 Christie video projectors, 20,000 lumens each, and 238 spotlights, 203 of which are LED, are being used around the site. Outside this zone, the public can tune into 88.3 (Radio CKIA-FM) on their Walkman for a simulcast of the soundtrack to make the most of this experience. Spectators perceive no lapse between the sound and the image, no matter where they are seated for the projection.
