Rave Rebels is Belgium’s biggest indoor techno event, this edition drawing 18,000 visitors during the one-day event.

For this edition, the design focussed on 3D immersive visuals and more recognisable shapes and forms. The concept worked to create a connection between an alien species that could communicate with the audience through a giant screen—a giant robotic character that appeared through a melting steel wall.

Synchronised show control system
Constantine Nisidis created a custom system that displayed the KUKA robots in a virtual set that resembles the physical environment of the event. The robots, as well as the lights, motion and video, are all interconnected in one control system. This system enabled us to, for example, have the robot and lights interact with real-time visuals run by a 3D engine.
