Case Study: Musée du Louvre brings Robert Wilson’s Lady Gaga video portraits to life with BrightSign XD players

BrightSign XD Brings to Life Robert Wilson’s Video Portraits of Lady Gaga at the Musée du Louvre in Paris

The Louvre commissioned Robert Wilson’s “Living Rooms,” a large-scale video portrait installation featuring Lady Gaga, and faced the unusual challenge of presenting contemporary moving-image art within the museum’s historic galleries. BrightSign supplied its BrightSign XD solution to meet the project’s demands for high-quality, rock‑solid playback across multiple screens.

BrightSign’s XD230 digital signage media players powered 17 LCD and plasma displays, looping a 50‑minute video continuously during operating hours; integrator Dissident Industries handled production and installation while praising BrightSign’s reliability and video quality. The BrightSign-powered installation ran from November 2013 through February 2014, attracted significant attention and discussion at the Louvre, and delivered stable, uninterrupted playback across the entire exhibit.
