Project Information

Situated 300 meters above sea level, St Michael’s cave is a natural wonder adorned with millions of rock formations, ranging from 30 centimeters to 30 meters in height. These formations serve as both the backdrop and the focal points of the immersive experience.

The journey transports visitors from a dormant cave, bringing it back to life through through millenia of geological history with video, lighting and sound.

Our Delivery

Our client Pixel Artworks tasked us with leading the on-site technical installation and commissioning, utilising Epson projectors in custom-made, climate-controlled enclosures, disguise media servers, dozens of speakers and over a hundred IP rated lighting fixtures.

The team encountered fresh challenges in the damp, humid, hot, and highly acidic environment, but the overall result was nothing short of spectacular, doing justice to the natural beauty of the surroundings.

We provided:

  • On-site technical leadership
  • Hardware commissioning
  • System documentation

We're not just your technical partner,

we're your biggest fans.
