E\T\C UK Has The Power

Large format projection specialists E\T\C UK projected onto the historical Didcot Power Station to celebrate the start of Oxfordshire’s 1000th birthday celebrations on June 21, the longest day of the year.
The projected artwork was a 50 x 50 metre image of the Oxfordshire 2007 logo, launched an action-packed programme of festivals and special events celebrating the county’s very own millennium, co-ordinated by Oxford Inspires.
The image was beamed onto one of the majestic 114 ft high cooling towers of Didcot A - one of three of npower's coal fired power stations – by two overlaid 6KW PIGI Projectors, situated 200 metres away on wasteland that’s part of the power station complex.
The projectors were programmed by Karen Monid, who together with Michael Barry, engineered the projection project for E\T\C UK. It was a relatively straightforward job technically, but the aesthetic results were stunning – the projections, which came into view as the dusk fell, were clearly seen by motorists passing on the busy A4130.
E\T\C UK’s Ross Ashton comments: “This was a very exciting place to work. We wish Oxford all the best for its year of celebrations.”
Project co-ordinator for Oxford Inspires, Cath Nightingale asked E\T\C UK onboard after they were highly recommended. She commented: “We’re delighted that Didcot Power Station entered into the spirit of Oxfordshire 2007 – with a spark of imagination, a dash of innovation and a sense of occasion.”
John Rainford, Manager of Didcot Power Station said: “Energy is at the centre of our business and at the heart of our work in the community. The projection shows our enthusiasm to be involved.”
