In mid-2022, as part of the Unboxed: Creativity in the UK festival, the team at Newsubstance brought a decommissioned North-sea gas platform to the shores of Weston Super-Mare and set about transforming it into an immersive art installation, celebrating science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. 

Enlightened were invited to provide a package of illuminations to ensure that the structure was just, if not more eye-catching at night time as it was during the day. We worked with the team at Newsubstance to design a lighting solution that highlighted all the key features of the installation, as well as much-needed functional lighting to allow access to the structure at night. 

Alongside over 200 installed lighting fixtures, we provided extensive rigging and infrastructure support, with power distribution for the site and various rigging hardware provided from our stock and installed by our team of technical experts. 

The interactive exhibition was opened with a bang on the beachfront in September, and Enlightened performed a key role in the opening ceremony, providing show control and concert-grade audio  systems for the amazing show which also included drone performances and wowed audiences. 

The exhibition closed after two months of delighting its visitors, and Enlightened were proud to also assist with technical support for the closing ceremony in a similar vein. It was an honour to be a part of this fantastic feature on our home turf of the South West.
