Exclusive renders reveal how Perth’s historic streets will be transformed – September 6 & 7
New visual renders reveal for the first time how Perth’s Mill Street will be transformed into an extraordinary digital canvas this September, as 125 Live! presents Scotland’s most ambitious outdoor audiovisual experience, featuring cutting-edge projection mapping and lighting design from internationally acclaimed artists.
These exclusive renders provide the first glimpse of how Alba Corral, the Barcelona-based visual artist and creative coder whose mesmerising digital landscapes have captivated audiences across continents, will create an outdoor projection mapping installation – her first in the UK.
Corral, who previously performed at Glasgow’s Tramway as part of Sonica Glasgow, will transform Perth’s historic buildings into dynamic visual surfaces, creating an immersive environment where architecture becomes art.
She paints digital landscapes that interact with the music accompanying them.
The renders also showcase how local-lad-turned-global-artist Will Potts will bring his internationally recognised lighting expertise to the Scottish streets.
Will has worked with artists such as George Ezra, Rag N Bone Man, Hudson Mohawke, Dusky and TNGHT and won a Knight Of Illumination Award for his design work with critically acclaimed electronic act Disclosure in 2014, winning the award a second time for his work with singer Sam Smith in 2015.
His dazzling light show will synchronise with Corral’s projections to create a unified visual symphony that extends beyond traditional concert lighting into architectural storytelling.
The ambitious immersive format is the brainchild of Christopher Glasgow, Director of Perth Theatre and Concert Hall, working alongside Cathie Boyd, the creative mind behind “Sound to Sea” for the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. Boyd’s experience in large-scale public celebrations brings proven expertise to this unprecedented transformation of Perth’s urban landscape.
Their vision creates a sequential performance across four live stages, with the surrounding buildings becoming integral performers in the show through live projection mapping and responsive lighting that will pulse and flow with the music.
The collaboration between these international digital artists and Scotland’s cultural institutions demonstrates Perth’s position at the forefront of innovative arts programming, creating an experience that bridges traditional Scottish celebration with cutting-edge technology.
125 Live! takes place Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 September on Mill Street, Perth. Tickets from £15.
