An appetising invitation from Locus Pocus Deco, brought our Collective to a festival that was colourful, sunshiny and orchestrated by a great production team. 

Joined by VJ Zero, VJs Viktor Furiani and Samvida Nanda drove across the green landscapes of France, Luxembourg, Belgium and Netherlands to reach the long summer days and intense nights of Amsterdam!

We landed in the sprawling grounds of the Wooferland Festival 2015, to discover under vast circus tents the beautiful wooden stage design by Locus Pocus Deco. Welcomed promptly by the team of the the Wooferland Festival, we could happily start the work with the techniciansfrom React Event. Next came a day and night of mapping and content creation, and the Energy Stage was up to welcome the legion of dancing techno giants that showed up sharply at... noon! Middle of the afternoon, we were a civilised horde of 7000, festively enjoying the last days of the nordic summer across sound, vision and dance.

Meanwhile, at the VJ console, we created a chain of computers to generate, finalise and polish some more visual delicacies under soft smoothwares such as Processing and Touch Designer. Video performance was served through the layercake of Resolume and Mapio.

We would like to mention our eternal gratitude for the warmth and hospitality of our elegant host Elena! With an extra special thanks to Ziggy and the crew of Locus Pocus Deco, as well to Rui and Marcia!

And we are happy to share with you the result in video. Soundtrack from Rohan1000 [PME - Paris]. Shooting and editing by Samvida & Viktor.

Mosquito Massala had the pleasure to work with the journalist H. R. Venkatesh

to conceptualise and create the Multi-Lingual Logo for his project Media Buddhi.

The Logo was further animated by Sidharth Pratap Singh and is featured in the videos and other visual communication around the project.

"On BOOM's digital literacy program, we invite guest speakers to discuss the most pressing issues with digital media usage, digital exposure for children, breaking down information bias and teach everyone to fact check fake news, polarizing news and dog whistles for themselves. Let's create a world that is safer for everyone." - Media Buddhi

Our various approaches into the linguistic and text explorations led us to certain observations and iterations:

- A friendly, Round, Stable, Organic Typography

-latin alphabet referencing to local alphabets

-Medium+ spacing to give space to breathe and time to think (i.e. not oppressive, no overcrowding. For example, can colour create this clarity if letters are too close by. )

-witty ways of visually referencing the diversity and culture of India, and opening the conversation to regional language speakers.

-to identify one's own language in all the languages.

-option of incorporating Boom logo colour (red) into Media Buddhi to create the connection across both entities.

-to make a vector format so that the logo can be shown clearly across all platforms of print and web.

Mosquito Massala and DTROVE collaboration gave rise to a beautiful LED Mapping experience at Umaid Bhawan Palace, Jodhpur.

VJing live to the beautiful Sufi and Bollywood music by Bhavin Shastri and Band.

Mosquito Massala had the pleasure to collaborate with DTROVE for an Architectural Projection Mapping on Bal Samand Lake and Palace in Jodhpur, India.

This storytelling experience is a Light and Sound Pheras, and explores a 360 degree stage as a setting for an immersive Royal Wedding Experience.
