Childish Gambino’s production team brought us in to help complete the futuristic, post-apocalyptic look of The New World Tour.
The work ranged from wearable, radio-controlled lighting on Gambino’s jacket and helmet to integrated LED displays spanning the truss, linking two stages at opposite ends of the arena.
All of it ran on our custom wireless system, which has to deliver flawless radio control in arenas full of competing signals, night after night.
