Case Study: Bassins de Lumières attracts 400,000 visitors with Barco projection technology

World’s largest, Barco-powered digital art center attracts 400,000 visitors in 4 months

Bassins de Lumières, a digital art center in Bordeaux, France, needed to create a massive and immersive visual art spectacle within the challenging, humid environment of a historic WWII submarine base. To present digitized masterpieces on 14,000m² of projection surface, they required a highly reliable and high-quality projection solution, turning to Barco and its laser projectors including the F80-Q12, G60-W10, and UDX-W32 models.

Barco provided a solution comprising over 100 projectors, which were celebrated for their stable operation, superb image quality, and truthful color reproduction. This allowed the creative team to focus on artistry without technical concerns. The reliable system, supported by Barco's 24/7 remote monitoring and responsive support team, helped the exposition achieve significant results, attracting 400,000 visitors in its first four months of operation.
