Abstract:
Childish Gambino’s 2018 Pharos festival was a three-day immersive music event with performances taking place under a 160-footwide inflatable dome in a rugged and remote regional park in New Zealand. Weta Digital worked with 2n Design to produce highfidelity, real-time rendered imagery to Childish Gambino’s music. The teams utilized a state-of-the-art projection system and conceived a system architecture that allowed high-resolution interactive visuals to be projected across the interior of the dome.
