EXPO 2025 Osaka: ON completes comprehensive Audio-Visual and Lighting set-up for Portugal Pavilion
Unleashing the Blue Dialogue: ON's Awe-Inspiring AV Spectacle at Expo 2025 Osaka
Get ready to dive into an underwater odyssey! ON, a global AV maestro renowned for its audacious solutions, has crowned the Portugal Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka with a spellbinding AV extravaganza. From Brazil to Portugal and all the way to Japan, this international powerhouse has crafted a visual and aural epic that tantalizes and transports. Let's explore the mesmerizing magic that ON has woven across this stunning pavilion, designed by the legendary architect Kengo Kuma.
ON Board: Crafting Oregon's Undersea Symphony
Tasked with spearheading the complete AVL (Audio, Video, and Lighting) infrastructure for the Portugal Pavilion, ON has left no stone unturned. In a breathtaking display of effort and expertise, the team handled the lot, from procuring equipment to designing the system and, ultimately, installing and operating it. It's a full-throttle journey that takes in everything from large-scale projections and multichannel sound systems to LED installations and touchscreen displays, all seamlessly intergrated for a fully immersive experience.
Journey's Beginning: Enter the Visionary Blue
As you step inside the Portugal Pavilion, you're enveloped in a world where audio and visuals harmonize with every breath. Beginning in the Waiting Area, the symphony starts with the sonic atmosphere of whirling ocean waves and billowing winds, concocted by the talented composer Diogo Alvim. The ambient audio sets the stage for a captivating expedition where sound and vision will be your constant companions.
The next space, dubbed Room 1, is a theatrical spectacle of light, projection, and intricate soundscapes. Here, you'll find five thematic islands, each offering clues to understanding the oceans and their critical role in our lives.
A Wave of Wonders: Highlights from Room 1
One highlight is the jaw-dropping Minidome installation, featuring a hemispherical projection surface adorned with navigational maps and animated cartography. ON pulled out all the stops in creating this visual gem. To bring the Minidome to life, they commissioned a bespoke fisheye lens that allows a single Epson EB-L730U projector to dazzle every corner of the dome flawlessly. The result is a continuous, tantalizing odyssey into Portugal's maritime legacy, powered by innovative AV technology.
Other islands feature interactive 86in multi-touchscreen displays, embedded Iiyama monitors, and an audio-light installation that delves into fascinating linguistic connections between Portuguese and the native language Japanese. The experience culminates in an immersive room in Room 2, where you can sit back, soak in the sound, and immerse yourself in a contemplative narrative about sustainability and the future.
An Ocean of Impact: Beyond the Exhibition
But that's not all! ON also outfitted the restaurant, terrace, shop, and multipurpose room with ambient audio and versatile AV setups suitable for a cornucopia of events, from film screenings and concerts to diplomatic receptions and cultural events.
The Green Wave: Sustainable AV Solutions
Sustainability has always been at the forefront of ON's philosophy. For the Portugal Pavilion, they've gone all-in on energy-efficient solutions that minimize waste and reduce power consumption. From LED lighting systems and laser-based projectors to modular mounts and racks, this project is as kind to the earth as it is to your senses.
A Company of the Ocean: ON's Blue Journey
With a track record of successfully navigating complex projects and overcoming obstacles, On's triumph at the Portugal Pavilion is a shining testament to their prowess in the world of AV. CEO Hugo Rodrigues reflects on the project's impact, proudly declaring, "This project has defined us as a company. We've proven our ability to create highly customized and intricate AV systems in an international environment, working side by side with foreign teams under grueling conditions. It's an accomplishment we're not just proud of, but also grateful for."
