Laser-mapped projection show created by Lady Gaga designer, Jack Irving, beamed directly on the front of the Tower nightly – the ambitious light depiction has been inspired by abstract dreams.
Five high-powered lasers will beam the display on to the historic frontage, accompanied by a new soundtrack composed by local music composer and producer, George Cornes.
Artist Jack Irving, who grew up in Blackpool and produced costumes for the Hot Ice show at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, has since gone on to specialise in extravagant, wearable art sculptures and create amazing costume designs for the likes of Lady Gaga.
Through his creative vision and innovative flair, the artist has been one of the driving forces behind the project, making key decisions on the appearance and design of the colossal towers.
The team of computer scientists at Lancaster University, one of the top universities in the UK, have provided the technological expertise required for this mammoth project, adding a new dimension that has never been seen before in the Blackpool Illuminations display.
The impressive installation would not have come to life without the highly skilled and experienced production team at Blackpool Illuminations, combined with monies from the Towns Fund to invest in cutting-edge technology.
