Kinesys On Eurovision

An 80 motor Kinesys system, controlled by K2 was specified for the Eurovision Song contest staged at the Telnor Arena in Oslo.  The system – a mix of 1 tonne and half tonnes, and K2 control – was specified by lighting gaffer Richard Gorrod and operated by Ian Macdonald. The equipment was supplied by lighting contractor PRG and the movement was an integral element of LD Al Gurdon's design for the event. The Kinesys system was used to raise and lower a 130 metre wide upstage lighting wall running the entire width of the arena and bending in around the sides of stage.
