The City of Groningen had the premiere of digital fireworks. With the introduction of firework-free zones, Groningen came up with a unique alternative. On the Vismarkt, there was a light installation where digital fireworks could be set off by everyone. With an app, a (firework) effect could be selected, which was then 'ignited' on the 30 thousand LED lights of the installation.
The light installation was developed on behalf of the Municipality of Groningen and Groninger City Club, based on the idea of Goldmund, Wyldebeast & Wunderliebe. This project was realized in a short time, also thanks to Klabam, Sitecrew, and Soundbase.
The installation consisted of 100 LED strings with a total of 30 thousand LED lights hung in a frame of 2 x 2 m and 6m. With a total of 16kW of power, the effect was visible and audible from afar. WebGL and Django were used for the firework effects, and the accompanying app was realized with React.
