ISE 2022 Demonstrates the Power of Pro AV with Inspiring Creative Programme

The new home of ISE in Barcelona will provide the canvas for a world class range of keynotes, projection mapping, and immersive installations harnessing the power of AV technology to create memorable experiences

Integrated Systems Europe has announced a raft of activities set to Light Up Barcelona, highlight creativity and technical prowess and showcase the power of the AV experience. ISE’s keynote speakers have been chosen to reflect creativity using technology and three projects will perfectly showcase to visitors how, when integrated into a collaborative solution, the pro AV industry helps to deliver stunning immersive experiences.

KEYNOTE ADDRESSES:

Opening Keynote: Refik Anadol: ‘In the Mind of Gaudi’ 10 May

Media artist and pioneer in the aesthetics of data and machine intelligence, Refik Anadol will give the Opening Keynote Address at ISE 2022. Anadol paints with a thinking brush, offering radical visualizations of our digitized memories and expanding the possibilities of architecture, narrative, and the body in motion. Anadol has created ‘In the Mind of Gaudí’, an immersive installation inspired by Casa Batlló and Antoni Gaudí’s work is showcased in the Gaudí Cube, the world’s first six-LED-wall room. It shows the different creative capacities of the combination of digital image, big data, and AI and explores new ways to bring digital art closer to the general public.

Greenberg will be exploring the technical challenges and the exciting future as he maps out the Next Generation of Immersive Entertainment.

ISE LIGHTS UP BARCELONA with TRIO OF FEATURES

I RISE at the Plaça d’Espanya:

Created and produced by Barcelona-based Flaix Studio, and running on Monday 9 May through to Wednesday 11 May at 21:00 each evening, this eye-catching projection mapping explores the themes of hope, regeneration and renewal as the pro AV industry looks to return to more normal ways of working following the upheaval caused by the pandemic. Taking place on one of the iconic curved buildings on the Plaça d’Espanya by the Fira Montjuïc – sister venue to ISE’s new home, the Fira Gran Vía – this 15-minute programme will loop over two hours on three successive nights during ISE 2022. The Plaça d’Espanya is a popular traffic junction and landmark within the city. The pillars on the two curved buildings that span Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina are regarded as the gateway to the Montjuïc fountain, an important Barcelona landmark and tourist attraction.

Casa Batlló Façade Special Event: 

A special event will happen on the façade of Casa Batlló on the evening of Saturday 7 May as a result of the collaboration between Refik Anadol, OFFF Barcelona – a festival of creativity, art and digital design – and ISE 2022. This must-attend event will mark a bridge between these two milestones in the digital arts and AV industry. Gaudí gave Casa Batlló a unique façade, full of imagination, thanks to his work as a free and joyful artist. He thus created an exuberant and marine-inspired façade, adding involuntary sculptures, recycled materials and decontextualised objects, converting them into a universal work of art currently a UNESCO World Heritage site. A visit to this iconic destination is a must for any visitor to ISE 2022 in Barcelona. Stay tuned for more information.

ISE Immersive Art Experience, Hall 2, 10-13 May

In an amazing coup, ISE has worked with award-winning company Exhibition Hub to curate a unique virtual reality experience art installation which combines several of its award-winning immersive art experiences. A world first and one-of-a-kind, this digital art exhibition will animate iconic masterpieces from artists such as Van Gogh, Claude Monet, Frida Kahlo and Gustav Klimt. The spectacular 360° light and music show has been created with the support of AED Display, AV Stumpfl, AV-Drop / Showtex, Barco, Fluge, LANG and more.

Integrated Systems Events Managing Director Mike Blackman explained: “ISE embodies creativity, innovation, and technology and I am really excited that we have put together a series of stunning experiences for this, our first big event at our new home in Barcelona.These initiatives perfectly illustrate the impact and power that the professional AV industry has to create truly memorable experiences and kickstart connections to deliver business benefit. I have seen the plans and the previews, but I cannot wait to see them all in action during the show.”

Integrated Systems Europe, ISE 2022, will take place at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Vía on 10-13 May 2022.
