I designed a new stage design in the Basement of Paradigm050 in Groningen at Zeefgebouw called ‘Heart of Techno’. In this concept the DJ booth represents the heart of the Basement and the musician inside the heart is pumping their techno through the room. I used square LED panels rotated 45 degrees to together form a heart shaped visual screen. Mounted across the ceiling were LED strips that resembled the veins that come from the heart to visually send the music to the audience.
Looking back in this design now, in 2022, I am still very proud of this idea and I hope I can realize Heart of Techno again soon, at an outside Festival, maybe in a forest or something!
