Pink Floyd event in Milan
On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the release of The Dark Side of the Moon
In March 2023, we all celebrated the 50th anniversary of the release of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon.
To mark the occasion, Warner Music, with the patronage of the Municipality of Milan, created a unique event.
In Milan’s Piazza Duomo, they decided to recreate – using light – the iconic album cover designed by Hipgnosis.

Decomposition of light as a cover
The event entertained the attendees with light shows set to music, visible on smartphones thanks to aerial footage captured by a drone. The cover, which depicts the decomposition of white light into its fundamental colors discovered by Newton, was created by mixing different technologies. In particular, the beam of white light passing through the glass prism was created with a xenon projector (LEUKOS).

The shape of the prism that lit up in rhythm with the music to the notes of the song “TIME” was created with a set of NOVA IP68 bars controlled in DMX, while the light decomposition that appeared during the song “The Great Gig in The Sky” was obtained with 6 RAINBOW1 300W projectors controlled in DMX with a narrow optic.
The Spacecannon team followed the event from a technical and operational point of view, designing, assembling, and programming the system.
