Welcome to the Kazimier and Invisible Wind Factory

River of Light 2018: We were asked to take care of the 'Metal' element for our #ChinaDream installation at Liverpool's Waterfront and Pier Head spectacular over the Guy Fawkes weekend, and presented our Pool of Mirrors installation at Canal Pierhead. These 'Magic Mirrors' are inspired by their Han Dynasty namesake, which in their time were huge bronze trick-of-the-light devices that beguiled onlookers.

Our take on the concept involves lasers and six lilypad-like floating star-buoys, synchonised to our soundtrack. Tommy Husband was on hand to shoot this 'making of' behind-the-scenes film; part 2 to come on here, and the full 7 minute mini-doc will be on our Facebook page shortly. Enjoy - and huge thanks to Culture Liverpool for having us once again!

Our videographer-in-residence Tommy Husband shot this making-of behind-the-scenes film for Stealing Sheep as they made the journey to Newcastle with their 'Hexagon Experiment' - the Wow Machine - a project the Kazimier collaborated on, and built the three-tiered light-up stage for.

A forest from the future - a place where technology and nature have cross-bred, mutated and evolved into a networked bio-system, their communication monitored by an ominous light tower. Here are some observations from the weekend at Bluedot Festival

The Kazimier presents OMPHALOS - 'Energy Eternal' 2016, Invisible Wind Factory. SCIENCE - the systematic study of the physical world. Of reality itself. But what is the nature of reality? IWF believe that science can take us through reality and into the BEYOND… The Kazimier completes a run of immersive shows in our incredible new docklands venue: Invisible Wind Factory. Taking place over 5 nights the show treated audiences to walk-through tour of IWF’s Visitor Centre, followed by a powerful operatic ritual deep within the Omphalos. Here audiences witnessed an 8 person choir perform the great experiment as ‘Energy Eternal’ was manifested in a dramatic and explosive finale.

Through new advancements in mining technology we offer the chance to experience a world within a world, rich in geological wonderment, exotic life and scientific opportunity.
