Blue Man Group Leaps to 3D with digiTHIN
LAS VEGAS – Blue Man Group are putting a lightweight screen, digiTHIN, to use when they appear to materialize from a video projection in their latest production. The screens, developed by displayLED under its digiLED brand, are worn by the artists who perform rigorous routines animated by visual effects. Says BMG show director Bill Swartz, the effects illustrate the group’s creative idea that a hybrid space exists between real life and the technical world of phones and texts. “We call it 2.5D space,” he says.
