▪️ iDzia Setup : Sound

From June 8th to August 31st, 2019, the MAMO, located on the rooftop terrace of the Cité Radieuse in Marseille, hosted the summer exhibition by Californian artist Alex Israel. Inspired by Tim Burton's "Batman" movie, the exhibition immerses visitors in a unique atmosphere where the iconic Gotham City comes to life through immersive artworks and spectacular installations. The exhibition features reinterpretations of iconic Batman objects, such as the Batmobile and the Bat-Signal, sourced directly from Warner Brothers Studio. These legendary items are transformed by Israel into central pieces of the installation, creating a unique experience that blends contemporary art with the cinematic world of Batman.

Organized by Ora Ito, with support from RIMOWA and Galeries Lafayette, the exhibition offered visitors a visual and auditory experience like no other. Far from being a mere retrospective, it invited the public to discover Batman from a fresh perspective, combining pop culture elements with contemporary artistic vision.

As part of this immersive approach, iDzia was entrusted with adding a sound dimension to the exhibition. Our team installed a high-quality sound system to envelop visitors in a complete experience. Using cutting-edge technology, we ensured that the audio perfectly complemented the visual aesthetics of the exhibition. The sound effects were meticulously crafted to enhance the atmosphere of Gotham City, intensifying the immersion and allowing each visitor to feel the tension and energy of the iconic Batman universe.

The sound quality was optimized to seamlessly integrate with the exhibition spaces, creating an atmosphere where each element, from the collectible items to the artistic installations, resonated with unparalleled precision. By working closely with the organizers, we ensured that the audio enriched the visual experience, adding a new dimension to every interaction with the artworks.

The addition of this sound installation helped strengthen the immersive experience, creating a connection between art and technology. The sound element added depth to the exhibition, making each piece even more alive and captivating. Thanks to our technical expertise, the fusion of contemporary art and audiovisual technology was fully realized, offering visitors an unforgettable experience.

In summary, Alex Israel's exhibition at MAMO was a standout event, not only for its striking visual pieces but also for the immersive sound that beautifully complemented the Gotham City universe. iDzia is proud to have contributed to this prestigious event and continues to enrich projects where art and technology come together.
