Eurovision visuals

I was in a bar yesterday and just happened to watch through the entire Eurovision song contest. I noticed that along with the usual stage antics of dancers, lights, rotating mirrors and flame throwers the show sported computer-generated visuals. This reminded me of an article in Helsingin Sanomat that I cut out one year ago. It is about the team behind the lights and visuals of the whole contest. Apparently they rely on sponsors who like to test the newest light, projection etc. technologies there. And showy and flashy the stage was. But what about the visuals themselves?

I dare say it looked like any club visuals you would see in Helsinki. Colorful abstract patterns flowed across several screens, as interesting as tapestry, and I couldn’t help noticing many old demoscene effects such as the flame and plasma were rehashed. But maybe they were just fullfilling the very function of visuals in a larger sense?

Nevertheless, it is a VJ’ing career opportunity for those who it might concern.
