Babylon Festival 2018
Spaceship V1
Overview
The Spaceship Stage was a fully immersive Stage 2 environment for a 10,000-person psytrance festival.
I led the creative direction and technical delivery—designing a narrative-driven stage built around a hovering UFO and a pursuing spaceship, forming a dynamic, reactive stage system shaped by projection, lasers, and real-time show control.
The result was an environment that evolved throughout the night—shifting from sculptural object to fully activated audiovisual experience.
Key Contributions
- Designed a narrative-driven stage built around a dynamic interplay between a UFO and a pursuing spaceship
- Developed the spaceship as a projection-mapped surface—transforming its geometry into a reactive storytelling canvas
- Integrated projection, lasers, lighting, and fire FX into a unified, real-time show system
- Directed a cinematic transition from sunset into a fully activated night-time experience
- Delivered DMX-controlled effects synchronised to music, performance, and visual content
- Collaborated with Light Wizard on custom psychedelic stage treatments and visual language
- Led real-time show direction, blending VJ content, lighting, and spatial interaction
Closing
The Spaceship Stage demonstrates my ability to design environments that evolve over time—responding to both music and natural conditions to create a layered, immersive experience.
It brought together narrative, technology, and live performance into a cohesive system—transforming a dancefloor into a shared moment of spectacle.
