this year, moment factory is back in the nfl fray as part of super bowl boulevard, a 10 - block entertainment spectacle that' s been carved down one of new york' s busiest thoroughfares. their contribution is the super bowl virtual theater, a 3, 390 square foot projection - mapped wonder .
moment factory’s multi - disciplinary team consists of graphic and motion designers, multimedia directors, illustrators, architects, lighting designers, musicians, environment designers, producers, programmers, engineers, technicians and developers. principal people are dominic audet, chief of innovation, sakchin bessette, creative director and éric fournier, executive producer .
saturday, september 21, the musée d’art contemporain de montréal (mac) held its annual ball, which saw more than 650 guests gathered together for an electrifying, surprise - filled evening. the event, centered on the theme lost paradise, was graciously organized by sid lee, with the generous involvement of moment factory .
“traveling these days is a very logistical experience, ” said moment factory creative director sakchin bessette. “the only magical part about it is looking through the porthole of the plane, where you’re over the clouds and the sun is setting, so that’s what we wanted to create with all of the media content in the airport. ”
moment factory fc joined the coed division 1 in 2014 and was able to win the championship right of the bat. after two seasons without titles, the team around captain marc - andré paquet is now ready to lighten up the league again. the excellent chemistry between the players could be the key factor for a successful summer .
beating the light pollution was more complicated. since you can' t tell the big city to dim it down a little, the moment factory had to outgun the limelight with the most powerful hardware it could find. the images are blasted over herald square from 12 2k40 barco projectors from the courtyard marriott on sixth avenue, where the nfl rented out two floors of the building just for the production company. the projectors have 2k resolution with lamps rated at 40, 000 lumens. originally, moment factory had hoped to use the same 20, 000 lumen barco projectors that it used for la sagrada familia in barcelona, but they proved too dinky for the task .
considering madonna’s famous attention to production detail and the kind of dynamic multimedia environment moment factory has become known for, the tour seems set to make good on the promise of this past february’s lauded performance. have a look at a behind - the - scenes video below, and look through images of the sets in the slideshow above .
for this newest project, moment factory are utilizing 3d - camera technology to produce an interactive light show to “allow trent and his band to appear and disappear as silhouettes hidden in a field of pixels. ” the pre - made and instantaneous visuals will dance across the moving screens as the band plays, creating a sea of pixels .
there are four lumina events in québec: anima lumina, nova lumina, foresta lumina, and tonga lumina. the team at moment factory planned the first lumina experience by pure happenstance when foresta lumina was born in 2014. what began as a request from park officials to light up the park’s iconic pedestrian suspension bridge became foresta lumina .

after her 2012 super bowl halftime show wowed audiences with its choreography and jaw - dropping projection mapping, madonna was set to begin masterminding the tour for her new album, mdna. she decided to bring along the team that made the super bowl show possible: the lights - and - magic wizards at multimedia production studio, moment factory .
nine inch nails' trent reznor wanted just that when he hired moment in 2009 for his lights in the sky live tour. it was moment that dropped close to 2, 000 led - lit beach balls last spring on the crowd at california' s coachella festival during a performance by arcade fire. it was moment that got the call from ottawa' s national capital commission almost three years ago to turn the façade of the parliament buildings into a screen for a spectacular light - and - sound show .
moment factory is the next step in that innovation, particularly in art. co - founded by two artists in 2001, this immersive multimedia entertainment studio is comprised of more than 250 visual artists, 3d designers, storytellers, graphic designers, animators, and confetti canon operators (yes, really) who take the live experience to the next level .

in fact, such is the precision of digital technology and 3 - d mapping today that fournier thinks moment factory never even physically had to visit lucas stadium in advance .
in many instances, we work just from plans and when we finally arrive on - site, everything' s prepared in advance. what matters is the quality of the information .
each walk has six to ten different “scenes” that visitors can observe — anything from miraculously lit - up trees to glowing ponds housing scores of white orbs. moment factory makes québec (and all that lives within the province) pure magic. the only way you can get the full experience is by making the trip and going on one of the walks yourself .
they work with trees, mountains, bridges, and those who tend to them to turn this province into a mystical dreamland with endless possibilities. by putting the interests of the people on the front lines of the exhibition, moment factory has given everyone a new perspective on québec that is helping to reinforce the idea that this the most beautiful place on earth .
according to moment factory' s multimedia director, nelson de robles, the idea was to show the fusion of the two host states—new york and new jersey—as well as to illustrate the contrast
between the heat of the game and the cold outside .
indeed, when i was standing in herald square watching the projection, the temperature was hovering in the low twenties .
fournier, 48, was in indiana in his capacity as a partner and executive producer for moment factory, the montreal - based multimedia / new - media company that, since its creation in the fall of 2001, has become the go - to collective if you' re keen to combine sound, light, video, architecture and performance into one extravagant sensory overload .
the super bowl gig was done in association with another montreal creative powerhouse, cirque du soleil, with whom moment factory has teamed on various projects since 2004, including the reconstituted celine dion show at caesar' s palace in las vegas. madonna' s veteran choreographer and creative director jamie king had worked with cirque on its michael jackson: the immortal world tour show .
/ cnw / - transat is proud to unveil a new, permanent multimedia installation, created by moment factory and set in the heart of espace air transat, at the montréal–trudeau airport. this immersive experience celebrates the anticipation and joy of vacations, allowing travellers to explore the world of transat via interactive, playful and inspiring content that highlights its many sun and european destinations .
the vinyl factory is the world’s foremost vinyl enterprise. it encompasses a record label, pressing plant and online magazine, and collaborates with artists and musicians to create stunning audio - visual shows .
moment factory’s expertise in pacing permanent installations was key in terms of developing an evolving visual landscape. content is divided into four capsules, running in alternating patterns and rhythms according to store hours and activity on 5th avenue. within the media - saturated context of manhattan, the capsules are designed to draw in customers from the street, revealing complex layers as they experience the installation from a closer perspective .
when you’re a traveler in a foreign land, you have a few different routes to ensure you get the full experience: either you see the main attractions or wander so far off the beaten path that you have to forge your own way. moment factory’s lumina series is an interactive experience set within the backdrop of some of québec’s most beautiful natural amenities: the parks, forests, and waterfronts .
there' s endless super bowl hoopla happening in new york right now, what with the big game just days away. but you might miss one of the coolest if you don' t look up: the projection - mapping specialists moment factory have turned the grand herald square facade of macy' s into an orgy of light. it' s incredible. here' s how they did it .
fournier is clear about the fact that moment factory' s rise has paralleled the decline in sales of recorded music, particularly in north america. in 1999, music sales and licensing on the continent totalled more than $ 15 - billion (u. s .); 10 years later, that total was about $ 7 - billion, with cd sales dropping 6 to 8 per cent every year .
but no matter how much power was thrown at the project, moment factory had to work within some unavoidable constraints, and in the end, the visual content had to be tailored for the site. for example, the video contains very little negative space—everything had to be filled with a color, because you' re never going to get a deep, cold black in the middle of new york city .
the atmosphere among the players of moment factory fc remains also positive, after the final whistle of the referee ends the game. fighting for a common goal in the coed division 1 has a huge impact on the team spirit within the multimedia entertainment company, which was responsible for the illumination of the jacques cartier bridge on montreal’s 375th anniversary. “playing soccer with each other is definitely the reason why the hierarchy in our office loosens up a bit. when we come back to work after a match, we can put the conversations about our current projects aside for a moment and discuss some other subjects first”, said mr. paquet .
the sheer concentration of talent in the league let the coed division 1 teams no other choice but to be well prepared for every match - up. choosing the right strategy can make the difference during the last moments of a close game. moment factory fc is mainly trying to keep being in possession of the ball as often as possible, in order to dictate the rhythm on the pitch. “a good coordination between defense and midfield is pivotal for our game. if we are able to stick together as a group, it is hard to score against us”, clarified mr. paquet. on the offensive end, the captain of moment factory fc puts his faith primarily in the hands of marouane sahbi. “he is an extraordinary dribbler and responsible for the magical stuff in our team”, said mr. paquet with a smile on his face .
moment factory was commissioned as executive content producer for the largest multimedia installation at any airport in the americas. we developed a digital storytelling strategy and produced original multimedia content, interactive installations and real - time data visualizations to support remarkable passenger experiences. seven huge media features are carefully orchestrated to bring the architecture to life. the result is a carefully curated, breathtakingly beautiful environment that lets passengers fly before they ever leave the ground .
they’re known for bringing unique, larger - than - life installations to parks, entertainment venues, and retail destinations all over the world. thrust into the spotlight by madonna’s 2012 super bowl halftime show, moment factory introduced the world to a side of live art that uses the environment as the easel. however, it is what they’ve done with québec’s landmarks (natural and man - made alike) that have drawn the most acclaim .
at founders factory we strive to build a team of people that could be founders in their own right. from the brightest minds in business, engineering and design we believe great people build the greatest products and businesses .
is one of the oldest industrial enterprises of the city. the activity of the factory began in 1947. in 2006, implemented the first stage of the investment project
modernization of the plant for making hard cheeses .
m & s is one of the uk' s leading retailers. we are committed to making every moment special through the high quality, own brand food, clothing and home products we offer in our stores and internationally .
fournier is currently in new york because moment factory has been tapped to provide the lights and interactive elements at two consecutive concerts featuring the world' s biggest rapper, jay - z, in fabled carnegie hall. it' s a charity show in part to support the united way of new york and tickets have been priced at $ 500 to more than $ 2, 000 (u. s .). the first performance was monday evening .
our attributes include: fairtrade; organic; recycled content; free range; cruelty free; low alcohol and healthy food. we also define factory manufacturing that meets social or environmental best practice standards as a plan a product attribute .
on saturday though, thanks to some projection - mapped magic, gaudí’s masterpiece was briefly complete–and then some. moment factory, the montreal - based new media studio responsible for madonna’s stage show, premiered a 15 - minute light show that turned the sagrada’s lush, intricate nativity facade into a moving spectacle. “our inspiration was to realize antonio gaudí’s dream, ” write the crew on their blog. “the architect wished for the façade to be full of colors. ”
the exhibition focuses on japanese food culture in an artistic, playful, educative and entertaining way. “the mysterious restaurant of the food god” features 4 digital installations created and produced by moment factory and adapted to the given environment. the interactive experience takes visitors on a journey across three main sections, leading the audience to their final culinary destination – the ephemeral restaurant. the result is a poetic interpretation of japanese legends that have a strong relationship to the japanese food culture .
to uphold the illusion that guests have stepped off this planet and onto another, the crew at moment factory goes to great lengths to create the environment and have it seamlessly integrate in the woods. they hide speakers in trees, use color - changing led bulbs that float and bob like magic, and use original music to set the scene. along with the technical aspects of the series, original storylines are constructed for each walk, making each experience different from the last .
moment factory is a montreal - based collective of video, design, and technology nerds. they' re experts at turning buildings into animations, and they use their own propriety software to do it. in one recent recent show, they projected glorious imagery onto la sagrada familia, antoni gaudí' s masterpiece cathedral in barcelona. the canadian company is no stranger to american football, either; they helped design madonna' s half - time show at the super bowl in 2012 .
in 2017, moment factory and six local partners fulfilled a long - held dream of lighting up the jacques cartier bridge–an architectural jewel and iconic montreal landmark. directed by jacques cartier and champlain bridges incorporated, collaborators shared one common goal: to give montreal a new visual postcard and a showcase for the city’s creative and technological vanguard. the collaboration would result in the world’s most - connected bridge, a smart city illumination activated by real - time social media activity and big urban data .
doing large events ,
often stressful ones ,
is
in the dna of moment factory ,
fournier says .
so i think we' ve got a pretty sharp team when it comes to addressing those tight challenges .
but
yesterday, entering [ lucas ] stadium, looking at the crowd... seeing nbc broadcasting live and all the anxiety surrounding the game itself, i couldn' t help myself being as nervous as everybody else ,
he laughed .
the whole thing seems fantastically gaudy (as it should be !). spiritually, gaudí was fervently catholic. architecturally, he was fantastically radical. his buildings reflect that duality–they’re full of technical brilliance as well as religious symbolism (the spires on the nativity facade, for example, support massive stone “baskets” of colorful fruits). it’s easy to imagine gaudí, had he lived today, working for moment factory–their brand of technical know - how and fantastical excess is actually very similar to his own .
moment factory, with 120 employees, produces content for digital signage as well as projection, working with both permanent installations as well as temporary ones for large events and shows. last fall, the company was commissioned by los angeles world airports at act as executive multimedia content producer for seven installations in the new tom bradley international international terminal. it included hours of original video content and several interactive sequences created with high defintion imaging, 3d and technology that responds in real time to the movement of people and airport information .
with so much to see and explore, it’s almost as if there are two sides to québec: the first could be mistaken for 19th century france. the second? well, that one makes you feel like you’re living in the not - too - distant future. and it’s the latter — that second personality — that’s being transformed by the creative minds at moment factory, an art collective that’s turning some of the province’s most beautiful parks and mountains into an electric wonderland straight out of a sci - fi movie .
when madonna got the nod to anchor the super bowl halftime show, king turned to cirque to help with its preparation and presentation. cirque, in turn, contacted moment in late october last year and
by late november we had the go ,
fournier says .
marsal and the other artists at moment factory taxed the full resources of the company’s unique video configurations on the mdna set, making each song a self - contained unit complementing the choreography and amping up the theatricality of madonna’s performance. the main stage surface contains 36 motorized led cubes, which constantly move during the performance, keeping the audience guessing. “girl gone wild” is set inside an ornate 3 - d cathedral, “i’m a sinner” offers a psychedelic train ride through india, while grand finale “celebration” is a full - blown spectacle of color and movement .
at the moment, the company completed the second stage of technical re - equipment, which increased the capacity of the company for the production of cheese and 15 tons per day. a new modern salting department has been put into operation (such as
river
) .
moment has a total staff of more than 60; for the super bowl, fournier and his partners sakchin bessette and dominic audet assembled a team of 12
artist technologists
who got involved
very early in the process and drove it all the way to the finish line .
for some, a super bowl berth would rank as a career high. not moment factory .
the whole world of multimedia environments and working with new technologies is just at its beginning ,
fournier says .
we' ve seen the technologies evolve so fast in the last 10 years that the possibilities are endless... . it' s about pushing boundaries, using all the new tools, the technologies people are used to, like video games and the internet, and trying, in a certain sense, to transform the public environment into a more beautiful world .
but the project was a terrible challenge for another very simple reason: the macy' s building on 34th street is just blocks from the seizure - inducing light pollution emanating from times square, not to mention the empire state building and loads of skyscrapers that are all exploding with light. and then there' s the latent sound of manhattan' s crushing gridlock. the latter problem was solved by convincing the city to let moment factory crank up the volume to 100 decibels rather than the normal 85 decibel limit .
85 decibels is basically the sound of the traffic ,
says de robles .
moment factory had the opportunity to work with tait’s kinetic light installation comprised of over 1000 nano winches and connected led fixtures which hang above the band and the audience in sweeping waves of colour. it moves 60 feet vertically and as quickly as 10 feet per second creating 3d shapes, textures and movement. the installation was conceived with the band, tait and scott holthaus, as a way to bring fans even deeper into the music. so as the audience is surrounded by live sound, they also are immersed in colours and shapes inspired by each song on a new set list drafted each night .
even if regaining the title is one of the priorities of the former champion, having fun together stands out above everything else. since moment factory employs more than 260 people with all kinds of different backgrounds in montreal, the players consider match days also as occasions to get to know each other better and catch up with colleagues. “of course, we would like to win the vast majority of our games, but it doesn’t matter if we don’t. the important thing is that we enjoy our time together and help each other out, when it gets crucial on the pitch”, said mr. paquet, who is called “mappy” by his teammates .
the macy' s building' s design posed another problem—because it doesn' t have a totally flat facade, and the nfl wanted to project actual football footage onto the building. usually, projection maps don' t shy away from the intricacies of a building' s architecture. as de robles points out, la sagrada familia is one of the most complicated buildings in the world, and moment factory took advantage of all that weirdness to make a more interesting presentation. but if you want to use real footage of real human beings doing things, you need a flat surface—which gets screwed up by the macy' s building' s huge recessed windows .
salvador dalí famously called gaudí’s style “superbly creative bad taste, ” a description moment factory’s designers obviously took to heart. ode à la vie is a blindingly surreal retelling of “the birth of the universe, ” projection mapped onto the sagrada’s towering spires using 16 high - powered projectors. the show features waterfalls cascading down the facade, candy - colored fog, and a crescendo that highlights the facade’s central figure–the baby jesus–emerging from billowing chartreuse clouds. a bombastic soundtrack by anthony rozankovic and misteur valaire accompanies, and at the climax, thousands of glittering led butterflies cascaded onto the 32, 000 people gathered in the plaza below. basically, gaudi would have loved it .
in the show opener, celine stands in a shimmering gold and ivory armani gown at center stage with the world’s largest pure white billowing curtain. it flies away instantly in a split second as if criss angel pulled the ultimate mindfreak vanish. the stage is filled wall to wall with the orchestra, band and three backup singers. it’s the first wow moment of the night .
moment factory’s concept had to successfully fit within the existing architectural design, while also expressing the brand’s strong connection to technological innovation. the installation’s physical design took inspiration from the exterior storefront architecture – featuring large pleated metal components. the store’s long and narrow footprint also created opportunities to explore movement and create a coherent visual impact over a long distance. 27 lcd screens arranged in rows of 3 are incorporated in fragmented forms suspended across the length of the ceiling. the shifting angles and surfaces result in anamorphic tricks – playing with perception of the installation in space and the decomposition of the video surface. retail operations were also a key consideration in the design process: with a ceiling mounted installation, all valuable wall and floor space is available for sales and merchandising .

as is often the way in the musical world (s) laswell and his collaborators inhabit, the golden palominos are a shape shifting concern that have at times featured such leftfield luminaries as arto lindsay, john zorn and, er, michael stipe. as such it’s hard to compare the various albums of the golden palominos (although laswell contributed to their recordings well into the ’90s), but this debut released in 1983 captures a wonderful moment in time. drummer anton fier remains the only constant member of the palominos up to this day, but the madcap recordings on the golden palominos are a product of the same scene that material et al were born out of .
