Kali

KALI is 360-degrees of immersive lighting and video elements utilised in an innovative creative design.

Inside 30 custom 0.5m transparent video cubes are 30 Cameo W3 compact moving heads. Additional lighting includes 10 Cameo Azor S2 spots and 24 Cameo Sabor spots while 10 full color Leko profile fixtures light up the owner’s artwork in the lounge. The Azor S2s were an ideal choice due to their compact size, bright output, and CMY color mixing.

The video installation involves experimentation with contrast and negative space, which is where our artistic flair comes in. A centerpiece of the lounge is a series of 30 custom 0.5m transparent video cubes with lighting fixtures situated within, creating a 3D, layered lighting effect.

The center column, three smaller columns, and surrounding upper walls feature P1.9 video cabinets. No matter where you sit in the venue, the guests will always have an exceptional view.

KALI is a long rectangle shape room so it would’ve been easy to fill every space between the owner’s artwork along with all of the lighting and video elements. It was a balance between sophisticated tech while maintaining our design ethos with negative space and contrast. Each light and video element is effective without the venue being visually overloaded.

For special effects, four Kvant RGB 6-watt lasers, two Smoke Factory Smoke Machines and one Beyond Professional laser software were utilised.

This is a technically complex system design that requires controls collaboration between Avolites Q4 media server, multiple NovaStar video processors, grandMA, NPU’s, and Beyond Professional laser software. KALI has an original artistic vibe and inventive design that stands out from other nightlife venues.

“Extravagant, artistic, and luxurious” was Kali owner David Wallack’s visual inspiration, and in which we believe exactly describes this ultra lounge.
