CH.02 // BUILDING THE BEAM — STAGE PROGRAM
FOG ON · OUTPUT 480MW // SLIDE 05/12

02.05 — STAGE PROGRAM — FOUR PARTS, ONE FAN

HOW THE FAN IS BUILT —
FOUR BEAMS, ONE ROOM, NO MERCY.

PART 01 — THE EMITTER

ONE ARGON TUBE. THREE FANS. ZERO IDLE FRAMES.

A single 4W argon source, split by a galvanometer rig running 32 kHz — you see one fan, the optics draw three.

PART 02 — THE FOG

SMOKE IS THE SCREEN. NO SMOKE, NO LASER.

Two glycol haze machines hold the room at 0.4 g/m³ — thick enough to read a beam, thin enough to keep the back wall in view.

PART 03 — THE FLYER

PIXEL TYPE, SCREEN-PRINTED, HANDED AT THE DOOR.

VT323 on photocopy green — the flyer art rules every projection in the room, down to the kilohertz on the strobe.

PART 04 — THE ROOM

A WAREHOUSE, A TENT, NEVER A THEATRE.

Six metres of ceiling minimum. Black floor, black walls. The void is the canvas — the beam needs nothing else.
