Captain Energy

Jan Fabel is the creative mind behind Captain Energy and an experienced pixel mapping artist, Pim Rongen is a sought-after 3D motion designer and Erwin Steijlen is an experienced music composer.

Captain Energy has been working successfully at international light festivals for years and has made a name for itself with its precise and creative mapping techniques. At the Festival of Lights in Berlin, Captain Energy wows audiences with extraordinary light installations that merge architecture and art in a unique way.

For the Festival of Lights Award, the trio presents THE MERMAID: The television tower begins as a cold, metallic monument – a symbol of the rigid boundaries of human order and control. But piece by piece, the metal façade crumbles under the influence of the imagination. A new world bubbles up from the cracks in the steel – a deep, shimmering underwater landscape full of vibrant marine life. In the midst of this mysterious transformation, a mermaid appears with a radiant light that transforms the tower into a beacon of freedom. Her light reveals the beauty and freedom that lies dormant within each of us, just waiting to be unleashed.
