While our team was in town for IALD Enlighten Europe, it was a pleasure to see the Pont Neuf as both a canvas for art and a project close to our hearts.
Artist JR has transformed the Pont Neuf into “La Caverne du Pont Neuf,” a monumental inflatable cave stretching 120 metres across the oldest bridge in the city. Free and open to the public 24/7 through June 28, the installation pays tribute to Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s iconic 1985 wrapping of the same bridge, with a soundscape by Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk).
Ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, we worked with the City of Paris to bring the oldest bridge in town to life at dusk. GVA’s HIGHLIGHTER® and STR10® Series bring out the features of the bridge with light, with advanced capabilities in liquid-smooth dynamic effects and impactful lumen output thanks to COLOR-STREAM® and COLOR-AMP® technologies.
Remarkably, the entire system is powered by INFINITY® power supplies in just 4 separate control boxes.
