Haydn Explosive, Esterhazy Castle

Haydn Explosive connects multimedia installations within the exhibition Haydn Explosive at the Esterhazy castle to a spectacular overall multimedia concept. Fine-matched digital presentations complete the atmosphere in the antique exhibition rooms and whisk away visitors in new and old worlds. Impressive projections on historical ceilings and digital wall papers completed with free waved image compositions show how strong simulation performance with the latest technology can be.

Four high-end projectors are merged to one enormous large-scale projection through edge blending. The audience is presented with a huge, seamless projection nearly spanning over the entire ceiling – a technical and logistic challenge, exacerbated by the low ceiling height of only four meters.

18 monitors, 10 for adults and 8 in children- height, are embedded, neither prominently nor sunk, into the wall as completely borderless flat screens, merely outlined by the wallpaper’s margins. This makes it possible to let the wallpaper’s pattern reappear on the flat screens every 50 seconds. Just as if there was no clipping at all. The screen sequence, which explains the exhibition’s context, pauses for a moment and the wallpaper reappears in the clippings.

This characterizes the multimedia installations of HAYDN EXPLOSIVE: as the media is integrated into the exhibition’s scenography just as an interior designer from the rococo or neo-classicism would have made use of it. The media merely supports the extensive adornments and iconographic programs. It is being utilized for the sole purpose of letting the illusory space appear even more sophisticated and suggestive.

The particular media installations are perfectly matched to each other by synchronization of the media implementations and operation via a central server and therefore result in a medial overall concept.
