At the 77th Horatio Alger Awards Ceremony in 2024, DLB’s kinetic bar and kinetic ball systems, with revolutionary stage design, sublimated this grand ceremony of paying tribute to the spirit of tenacity into a shocking artistic experience. Through precise light and shadow arrangement and spatial reconstruction, these kinetic equipment not only redefine the stage dimension, but also make each award announcement moment full of dramatic tension and emotional resonance.
Kinetic lighting: writing inspirational chapters with light and shadow
The intelligent kinetic bar system tailored by DLB for the ceremony has become the visual soul of the entire evening. The programmable lifting meteor lights form a kinetic light curtain above the stage. Through precise mechanical lifting and color changes, it simulates the core image of “the dawn of adversity”-when the winner’s story is told, the light pours down like a meteor shower, and the golden beams form a strong contrast with the dark blue background, symbolizing “hope in the darkness”.
The DLB Kinetic ball is the “seed of dreams”, changing height with the rhythm of the speech, and the LED screen on the surface of the ball plays the images of previous winners synchronously, forming a tribute across time and space. This “light narrative” technique makes the abstract spiritual power visible and tangible.
Stage space: Immersive aesthetics created by kinetic lights
The design team broke through the plane limitations of traditional award ceremonies and built a three-dimensional symphony stage through the cooperation of three-layer lifting platforms and suspension systems:
- The main podium adopts a gradient kinetic lighting design, and the winners slowly rise in the dazzling “Avenue of Stars”
- The DLB kinetic ball matrix in the center of the stage opens and closes with the rhythm of the music, forming a breathing-like visual effect
- The DLB kinetic bar group on the back can be instantly transformed into a “Crown of Honor” shape, creating a sacred moment for the award ceremony
Technology empowers emotions: When machines have temperature
The subtlety of these lifting equipment lies in:
1. Accurate emotional mapping: The color of the light and the lifting speed are adjusted in real time according to the content of the speech. It is like a thousand arrows shooting at the same time in the intense part, and like a firefly dancing in the warm part
2. Visualization of the symbolic system: The movement trajectory of the kinetic light coincides with the life curve of “struggle-trough-breakthrough”
3. Breaking through physical limitations: The 7-meter-high lifting range creates a sense of ceremony like a church dome
At the end of the show, all the kinetic bar converged into the word “77″, and thelights fell like a waterfall. This dialogue between technology and humanity reached a climax – DLB used mechanical precision to interpret the brilliance of human nature, proving that the real stage magic is to let every audience see “the height that dreams can reach.”
