Barco are to sponsor major multi media exhibition of video artist Bill Viola at the National Gallery in London
Barco is proud to announce that it will provide sponsorship in kind for well known video artist Bill Viola’s latest exhibition, which runs at the National Gallery in London, by providing one of its state-of-the-art SLM R10 and two Cine 8 projectors, on which the artist’s work will be shown.
Renowned for its longstanding leadership in the visualization industry, Barco is proud to be associated with this avant-garde exhibition through its use of the SLM R10 and Cine 8 projectors. The Bill Viola exhibition will feature multiple video installations, which often serve as a complete environment to envelop the viewer, and require advanced multi-media technologies. Barco considers the technical requirements for the exhibition and the projection technology that Barco has to offer a perfect match.The exhibition will feature a Barco SLM R10 DLP Projector, which will be used to display Bill Viola’s work ‘The Greeting’, while in Gallery 6 two Barco Cine 8 CRT projectors will be positioned at each end of the gallery projecting onto screens in the middle of the room and displaying Bill Viola’s works ‘The Crossing’.
The versatile SLM R10 projector is ideal for use in medium to large venues that host events requiring best-of-breed projection technologies. Equipped with a 3-chip Digital Light Processing (DLP) sub-system and with a light output of 10 000 lumen, the SLM R10 offers higher brightness and enhanced colour uniformity than most projectors available on the market today.
The Cine 8, which forms part of Barco’s renowned Cine CRT projection range, offers ultra-high picture resolution and the most accurate colour reproduction, making the projector ideally suited for use in such an exhibition.
“With the words ‘when you do something, do it well’ we underpin the driving force behind the design of all our products, including the SLM and Cine projection ranges” states Stephan Paridaen, General Manager, Barco Media & Entertainment, adding: “both product ranges offer the superior quality and absolute product integrity Barco is known for.”
