Spaceshaping.net

We are making some revisions on the back end of SpaceShaping.net that will be causing some temporary slow down of this site.  Bare with us please as we will be back to speed shortly!

Now this is something to get excited about.  A tropical beach party with remarkable a line up and an amazing build crew that is a collaboration of some of the finest in festival production.  This years Envision Festival has all the ingredients that make an international event make waves!  We are deeply honored to have been selected to participate in this co-creation and ready to bring the big magic to the beach.

I feel like this is where SpaceShaping.net really shines.  One of our multifaceted goals is to created deco pieces that make a large impact yet pack down small and travel light.  This is the perfect opportunity for such a test and we plan to pull to off with flying colors!  Thanks Envision for having us down.  We look forward to providing you with stunning deco and a friendly and helpful event services staff.

Glad to have been a part of Snow Globe 2011 New Years Monster Party in Tahoe.  This event was incredible and went totally off the hook.   SpaceShaping.net did deco on the Sierra stage 2.  We used our New Crystal Sires and a few of our Snow Flakes to transform this room into it’s own little Snow Globe Scene!  The Snow Globe Crew along with all members of Rythm EFX and AEG where a pleasure to work with.   My only complaint was that our Crystal Spires could have been integrated into the lighting plot a little better thus showing more of their form from the audience view.

Otherwise could not have thought of a better way to spend our integration into 2012.   This event  puts us one step closer to our goal of seeing our innovative Stretch Fabric Stage props at massive parties every weekend!   We look forward to rocking 2012 super hard!   Thanks Snow Globe!!!

Everything from start ot finish with V2 was impeccable.   Great communication and professional atmosphere all around – not to mention they know hot to throw a party!   We had a great time in SLC and brought the deco hard.  Got lots of great feedback from the public at the show.  We featured our new internally lit Crystal Spires, a 24  Snow Flake ceiling and a massive visual screen!  My brother Andrew Mataus come out and rocked the setup with me.  It always helps to have solid SpaceShaping.net crew in the mix.

It was a pleasure to work with Show Gear, a SLC based lighting crew.  They helped us with per-organizing scaff structures to rig our Crystal Spires from.   As well poppin’ light rig!

Thanks V2 for having us out.  We look forward to all the next events coming up in the future and have a steady stream of massive new ideas that will bring the vibe hard!

Oh and Porter Robinson was the hotness!

We are happy to be rokin the Christmas party action is SLC with v2-events.   It looks like we will be featuring giant icicles, snow flakes, Christmas trees and tension fabric screens for video.   Come Get Naughty with PORTER ROBINSON at the The Complex – 536 West 100 South Salt Lake City, UT.

Had a great year at the burn working with Temple of Boom (TOB) to create the Rights of Zion stage.  We designed the GeoPod performance space specially for this event.  It was a geodesic sphere with internal wrap around table, temperature control and dust proof cover!  As well we did the 3D tension fabric Spires you see all around the stage.  It was incredible to work with these guys.  Thanks TOB for having us.

We where very pleased to be involved with this incredible festival.  This was the first year of the Human Nature Festival (HN Fest)  to happen and a spirited start to what could be one of Oregons premier festival.    Thanks to HN Fest for allowing SpaceShaping.net to come out and shine in full force.  We where given the fredome to to really let it out on this one.  I think the pictures pretty much prove that.

We got to setup 2 stages at this show with lighting and tension fabric decorations.   For the main stage we got to bring out our huge 22′ diameter flowers with LED lighting systems!  Even though these are a byoch to setup they really are worth it.  Just stunning in beauty and size.  Now with the addition of Madrix we can have incredible control off the LED lights that power the flowers.

As well this as the premier of the new performance booth called the GeoPod.   It is a 12.5′ diameter geodesic sphere with an elivated 4′ tall performance platform inside.  The Pod was a huge hit and loved by the crown and the performer alike.  Next we will be taking the Pod to Burning Man to be featured at the Temple of Boom at 10:00 and Esplanade!  It will get a full cover made by Mandala Domes.    Then we will be installing air conditioning and LED lighting by AudioPixel.com.  But anyhow back to HN Fest….

Over all this event was remarkable.  Thanks HN fest for having us out.  We want to support you in bringing this festival back next year.

We where pleased to be involved with the Bite of Bend, a stunning event in Bend Oregon managed by Lay It Out Events.  SpaceShaping.net created tension fabric covers that spanned the entire width of the streets in downtown Bend.  The shade covers proved to be a classy and efficient way for the to obtian the much needed shade for the event patrons needed.

SpaceShaping.net has the skill and knowledge base it takes to provide this type of custom shade systems for a variety of special events.   We can use existing rigging such as trees or buildings or bring in our own truss systems to support the areal fabrics like you see in the images in the blog post.

Thanks Lay It Out events for having us out to Bend.  We really enjoyed working with your team of friendly and professional staff.  We hope to be back in Bend soon!

Just back from outside Boise Idaho at a beautiful location that is home to the ongoing Esthetic Evolution Festival.  We have been doing lighting and deco at this event for 4 years and the name is really proving itself!  At this years event we co-built with Mandaladomes.com this incredible 80′ 1/4 sphere dome from scratch!   SpaceShaping.net fabbed the struts and Mandaladome.com did the design and skin.   I must tell you this dome is THE BEST TEMP EVENT SPACE I HAVE EVER WORKED IN!    For one it has a huge 80′ diameter footprint while the ceiling is only 29′ tall at the peak!  Normally for a dome of this size the peak would be a wopping 40′ tall or higher.  This makes setup and strike a sinch!  Secondly the shape is just beautiful and totally origional!  Promoters bring it on!  We are accepting booking for the second half of summer and beyond.    Also note that Mandaladomes.com is now creating skins for all dome sizes (and we make the domes for them) !

This event was also the debut of the Geo-Pod Performance Mobile Performance Sphere.  It was a test run to get all the kinks out for the structures premier at Temple of Boom at BM 2011!   The Pod was A huge hit!  Next Mandaladomes.com is building us a custom spherical cover.  Then we plumb in the filter systems and cool air for the ULTIMATE on playa booth!

As for the rest of the festival we had a great time augmenting the second main stage to look more main with creative tension fabric mandala structures and an LED and fabric crown to top it off.

Thanks EE Crew – You are all so amazing!

SpaceShaping was very happy to be contracted to handle the lighting, fabrics, and video at this very special event.  Arcimoto is a relatively new electric car company that designs and builds the ultra-efficient SRK electric three-wheeled vehicles.   This was the release event for car #5.  We took this huge open warehouse space and transformed it into something incredible using lights, fabrics and truss systems.  At the heart of the event sat our 16′ circle truss with 6 -Mac 500 moving head lights that shown down on the car as it drove into the room and lit it for all to see.  Thanks Arcimoto for having us on board!

We always enjoy heading over the Pass to bend Oregon for all the Shows Slipmatscience handle.  This time it was a banger featuring the music of Ill Gates and Jupit3r.   We featured our large 30′ long Sky Drops hung sidways like tentacles.  This is a look we lover doing and it is very versatile for all sorts of applications.  As well we handled all the moving lights and LED systems.

SpaceShaping.net net is happy to be integrating into this premier event in the bay April 29th.   Featuring Stages from such groups as Bass Camp, Opulent Temple and Symbiosis Events.   We got the Temple of Boom room and will be featuring new custom temple stretch props to pop your minds eye and explode the energy all around.  Thanks Bass Camp for having us on!  We are gearing up and making preparations to be sure this stage moves all who participate!

We had a bangn’ time blowing up lights and deco at the Showtek Party in Portland Oregon.   Considering Showtek Normally plays in Huge Arenas and for crowds of over 100, 000 we knew we where going to have to step it up to satisfy the tour manager and the performers.  Sure enough there where lots of requests for particular lighting considerations and LD stylings to match what Showtek was going for.  When Showtek’s set was over and they where on their way out the tour manager made it a point to come over and thank the SpaceShaping crew for rising to the occasion and delivering a quality show.  That was really nice to hear.  All and all the show popped off.  Looking forward to our next banger with Jelly Bean and Red Cube Productions on April 30th called Juicy!

We had a great time doing decorations and lights at Nightmare After Valentines Day in Portland Oregon.   Thanks Phat Wire for having us out in full effect!  This event allows you to see what happens when Space Shaping is given full control of all lighting and decoration budgets.   It enables us to go off extra hard and that’s how we like to roll.

Well hello lovelies.  I am recently back from Burning Man making it my 11th year on the Playa.  I do believe it was my best year to date!

While at the burn I got the opportunity to interface with the Temple of  Boom and do decoration on their heady stage setup!  It was so fun to work with these folks including Mark the stage creator and Jeremy from V2 Ent.  What a great group of people!  And the music on this stage was god damn slammn.  I think Mimosa played my favorite set on the playa and just after him was RD to fallow it up with the quality glitch hop that I love so much!  If you all don’t know who RD is yet figure it out!

Anyhow back to biz.   We installed a total of 8 SkyDrop stretch tubes around Ian’s Res 5 Funktion One System in a claw type shape.  Grrrr.

Hey all great burn!

Thanks so much to all the lovelies that co-created this fantastic festival.  I look forward to this one the most every year.  Please enjoy these images of the  fantastic world we created using fabric, lights,  trussing and lost of hard work.  Images taken by Thaddeus Moore giddy@sproutcity.com

It was another great year in…. Idaho!  Believe it or not this slammin party happens without a hitch each year outside of Boise Id.  People gather from near and far to make this, what some call, mini Burning Man.  These are shots of the main stage.  I am very happy with the look we came up with for this one.  Enjoy the pics!  Come next year
