WE:NOW Awards Ceremony

Madrid International Arts Festival

Bringing an awards gala to life through lighting, sound and lasers

Held at the TAI School of Arts, WE:NOW Awards Ceremony was a remarkable event that brought together talents in the areas of Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Film and Music.

At BeatMe Lab we had the honor of participating in both the production and the LED lighting and visual execution of the event, in close collaboration with the lighting designer Lola Barroso.

For this gala, it was decided to dispense with a traditional presenter, replacing him with an audiovisual show which guided the transition between scenes of artists, award winners and presentations. For that, we had the opportunity to design the lighting with LED bars and a laser show synchronized with the music and visual content of the group The Low Flying Panic Attack, enhancing and transforming the ephemeral spaces and creating an environments that captured the essence of the event and leave a lasting impression on all attendees
