“I, too, am a survivor” is an installation Adlib completed at the World Museum in Liverpool. Situated in the World Cultures gallery, the installation features a 360-degree immersive projection space that incorporates seven object cases seamlessly into the walls, each featured as part of the presentation.
The entire installation loops every 15 minutes, providing a comprehensive experience for gallery visitors. To achieve this, Adlib deployed six Panasonic PT-RZ690 laser projectors, which deliver a brilliantly vibrant image with long-lasting quality.
For seamless operation, the Adlib team connected all six projectors using Panasonic DIGITAL LINK technology. This involved the use of BlueStream HD-based transmitter boxes to transmit both video and network signals to the projectors.
The audio component of this installation consists of six Adlib AA61 loudspeakers, a single Adlib subwoofer, and an Ampetronic hearing loop for assisted listening. Utilising Adlib loudspeakers allowed Adlib’s engineers to anticipate and adjust the acoustic environment accordingly, making for a timely installation and troubleshooting.
World Museum was exceedingly pleased with the immersive atmosphere Adlib created, as the installation allowed the story to envelop the viewer. As a project, Adlib takes pride in its ability to seamlessly integrate resources from video to audio, fabric, set construction, and lighting into a single project, resulting in high-quality output.
