It has been seven hours since the team began building the stage for EPIC. Slowly, the structure is taking shape.
The back walls of the visually mapped surface are now in place, and a few key visual pieces have also arrived on stage, including this giant obelisk-shaped tower.
The structure itself is ingenious. Designed to be flat packed so that Eric Prydz can take the EPIC show on tour with him, the structure can be broken down into pieces like LEGO, and is incredibly lightweight for its size.
Foamex material on the front covers an aluminum frame behind, and it is grey because that is the colour that is supposedly best for absorbing projections.
As the structure has been going up some technicians have been busily checking every inch of the surface like spiders combing a giant web. “To ensure that the visuals are impeccable, we have to make the surface completely immaculate,” explained one technician. “Any scratches or dinks can impede the visuals.”
So as well as being the largest DJ show ever conceived, it seems that EPIC is also the most meticulous.
