The Outline pre-event is an annual event that brings together art and music lovers ahead of the long-awaited summer festival. In winter 2024, SILA SVETA, as a co-organizer of the festival and curator of the multimedia program, presented a unique design for the main stage at the pre-event, created in collaboration with the Panterra, UNIVERSE design and LedPulse studios. The central element of the setup was volumetric screens, which continued the development of the Deus Ex Machina concept, first implemented on the main stage of the Outline festival in 2024.

While the summer festival installation resembled a giant "living supercomputer" with broken screens and roots fused into concrete structures, at the pre-event the idea was transformed. Dancing figures came to life on the screen, their movements synchronized with the music, creating the feeling of a single organism pulsating in one rhythm. In this setup, together with the audience, we continue to reflect on machine learning, delving into the mystery of Deus Ex Machina - exploring how AI penetrates our lives, transforming them from the inside.

The screens captivated the audience, becoming the focal point of the event. The content worked 360 degrees. Every detail of the setup was meticulously crafted — from reinforcing the suspended structures to designing content specifically for the occasion.
