Thola ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nesibonisi se-Sphere LED

Isakhiwo esiyindilinga esingaqondakali sesibuse umkhathi wale ndawo yokudlala eyihlane iminyaka eminingana, futhi ezinyangeni zamuva izikrini zayo ze-LED ziguqule i-giant sphere yaba iplanethi, ibhola lomnqakiswano noma, okuphazamisa kakhulu, inhlamvu yeso eqwayizayo eheha izivakashi.
I-Sphere, ibhizinisi elingamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-2.3 elikhokhiswe njengendawo yokuzijabulisa yesikhathi esizayo, ibonakale okokuqala emphakathini kule mpelasonto ngamakhonsathi amabili e-U2.
Ingabe i-Sphere izophila ngokuvumelana ne-hype? Ingabe okubukwayo kwangaphakathi kuyamangalisa njengangaphandle? Ingabe i-U2, ibhendi ethandwayo yase-Ireland manje esezigabeni zokugcina zomsebenzi wabo, yenze okulungile ngokubiza inkundla ngosayizi weplanethi encane?
Ukuchaza isipiliyoni sekhonsathi ye-Sphere kuwumsebenzi onzima, ngoba ayikho into efana nayo. Umphumela ufana nokuba se-planetarium enkulu, ithiyetha ekhanyayo ye-IMAX, noma into engekho ngokoqobo ngaphandle kwehedisethi.
I-sphere, eyakhiwe yi-Madison Square Garden Entertainment, ithathwa njengesakhiwo esiyindilinga esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni. Inkundla engenalutho isigamu ingamafidi angama-366 ubude namafidi angu-516 ububanzi futhi ingakwazi ukumumatha ngokunethezeka sonke iSifanekiso Senkululeko, kusukela esisekelweni kuya esibani.
Ithiyetha yayo enkulu emise okwesitsha inesiteji esiphansi esizungezwe lokho ethi izikrini ze-LED ezinkulu kakhulu, ezinesinqumo esiphezulu kakhulu emhlabeni. Isikrini simboza isibukeli futhi, kuye ngokuthi uhlezi kuphi, singagcwalisa yonke indawo yakho yokubona.
Ezweni lanamuhla lokuzijabulisa kwe-multimedia, amagama asetshenziswa ngokweqile njengokuthi “ukucwiliswa” avame ukusetshenziswa. Kodwa isikrini esikhulu se-Sphere nomsindo ongenasici usifanele lesi sihloko.
“Bekuyinto ebukekayo… kuhle kakhulu,” kusho u-Dave Zittig, owasuka e-Salt Lake City nonkosikazi wakhe u-Tracy ohlelweni lwangoMgqibelo ebusuku. “Bakhethe iqembu elifanele ukulivula. Sihambele imibukiso emhlabeni wonke futhi le yindawo epholile kunazo zonke esake saba kuyo.”
Umbukiso wokuqala kule ndawo ubizwa nge-“U2: UV Achtung Baby Live at Sphere”. Kuwuchungechunge lwamakhonsathi angu-25 abungaza i-albhamu eyingqophamlando yeqembu lase-Ireland yango-1991 i-Achtung Baby, eqhubeka kuze kube maphakathi no-December. Imibukiso eminingi iphelile, nakuba izihlalo ezihamba phambili zibiza phakathi kuka-$400 no-$500.
Uhlelo luvulwe ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku ukuze luthokozele ukubuyekezwa, ngombukiso wokuqala wokhaphethi obomvu ohlanganisa u-Paul McCartney, u-Oprah, uSnoop Dogg, uJeff Bezos nabanye abaningi. Lolu hlelo beluhanjelwe ngosaziwayo, abanye babo okungenzeka ukuthi bayazibuza ukuthi bazozibekisela kanjani ukubonakala kwabo eThe Circle.
Amakhadi eposi asuka Emhlabeni, aqondiswa u-Darren Aronofsky, avula uLwesihlanu futhi athembise ukusebenzisa ngokugcwele isikrini esikhulu se-Sphere ukuze athathe izethameli ohambweni olujabulisayo emhlabeni wonke. Azoba namanye amakhonsathi ngo-2024, kodwa uhlu lwabaculi alukamenyezelwa. (Kungenzeka ukuthi uTaylor Swift useyajola.)
Izivakashi zingafinyelela ku-Sphere esempumalanga ye-Strip emigwaqweni esemaceleni nasezindaweni zokupaka, nakuba umzila olula udlula indlela yabahamba ngezinyawo usuka kuzakwethu wephrojekthi, i-Venetian Resort.
Uma usungaphakathi, uzobona i-atrium enophahla oluphezulu equkethe amaselula aqoshiwe alengayo kanye nezitebhisi ezizihambelayo eziholela ezitezi ezingaphezulu. Kodwa into ekhangayo ngempela ithiyetha kanye nekhanvasi yayo ye-LED, enamaphikseli evidiyo ayizigidi ezingu-268. Kuzwakala njengokuningi.
Isikrini siyamangaza, siyabusa futhi kwesinye isikhathi siyabahlula abadlali ababukhoma. Kwesinye isikhathi angazi ukuthi ngibheke kuphi – eqenjini elidlala bukhoma phambi kwami, noma ezibukweni ezimangalisayo ezenzeka kwenye indawo.
Umbono wakho wendawo efanelekile uzoncika ekutheni ufuna ukubona umculi eseduze kangakanani. Amazinga 200 no-300 asezingeni lamehlo anengxenye emaphakathi yesikrini esikhulu, futhi izihlalo ezisezingeni eliphansi zizoba seduze nesiteji, kodwa kungase kudingeke ugeqe intamo yakho ukuze ubheke phezulu. Sicela uqaphele ukuthi ezinye izihlalo ezingemuva kwesigaba esiphansi zivimba ukubuka kwakho.
Umsindo webhendi ehlonishwayo—i-Bono, i-Edge, u-Adam Clayton kanye nomshayi wesigubhu oyisivakashi u-Bram van den Berg (egcwalisa u-Larry Mullen Jr., owayelulama ngemva kokuhlinzwa)—uzwakale unomdlandla kunangaphambili, ukhala ngetshe elinyakazisa umhlaba. -ukunyakazisa (“Ngisho Nento Yangempela”) kuma-ballads amathenda (“Zodwa”) nokunye okuningi.
I-U2 igcina abalandeli abaningi abazinikele, ibhala izingoma ezinhle kakhulu, futhi inomlando omude wokuphusha imingcele yobuchwepheshe (ikakhulukazi phakathi nohambo lwabo lwe-Zoo TV), okubenza babe ukukhetha okungokwemvelo kwesikhungo esinobuhlakani njenge-Sphere.
Ibhendi yadlala esiteji esifana ne-turntable, nabaculi abane ababedlala kakhulu emzuliswaneni, nakuba u-Bono ebambezeleke emaphethelweni. Cishe yonke ingoma ihambisana nokugqwayiza kanye nevidiyo ebukhoma esikrinini esikhulu.
U-Bono ubonakale ethanda ukubonakala kwe-psychedelic sphere, ethi: “Yonke le ndawo ibukeka njengebhodi le-kick-ass pedalboard.”
Isikrini se-ambient sakha umuzwa wesikali nokusondelana njengoba i-Bono, i-Edge namanye amalungu ebhendi evele ezithombeni zevidiyo ezingamamitha angu-80 ubude ezivezwe ngaphezu kwesiteji.
Abakhiqizi be-Sphere bathembise umsindo ohlabayo ngezinkulungwane zezipikha ezakhiwe kuyo yonke indawo, futhi akuzange kudumaze. Kweminye imibukiso umsindo wawunodaka kangangokuthi bekungezwakali isigqi sabadlali esiteji, kodwa amazwi kaBono ayecwebile futhi ecacile, futhi ivolumu yeqembu ayizange izwakale ikhathele noma ibuthakathaka.
“Ngiya kumakhonsathi amaningi futhi ngivamise ukufaka ama-earplugs, kodwa bengingawadingi ngalesi sikhathi,” kusho uRob Rich, owandiza esuka eChicago ehambele ikhonsathi nomngani wakhe. “Kuyajabulisa kakhulu,” wengeza (kukhona lelo gama futhi). “Sengibone i-U2 izikhathi eziyisishiyagalombili. Lokhu manje sekuyizinga.”
Maphakathi nesethi, ibhendi yashiya i-“Achtung Baby” futhi yadlala isethi ye-acoustic ethi “Rattle and Hum”. Okubukwayo bekulula futhi izingoma ezikhumuliwe ziholele ezikhathini ezingcono kakhulu zakusihlwa - isikhumbuzo sokuthi nakuba izinsimbi namakhwela kumnandi, umculo obukhoma omnandi wanele wodwa.
Uhlelo lwangoMgqibelo bekuwumcimbi wesibili womphakathi we-Sphere kuphela, futhi basalungisa izimbungulu. Ibhendi yaba sekwephuzile cishe isigamu sehora - okuyinto uBono ayisola "ezinkingeni zobuchwepheshe" - futhi ngesinye isikhathi isikrini se-LED asisebenzi kahle, siqandisa isithombe imizuzu embalwa phakathi nezingoma ezimbalwa.
Kodwa kaningi kunalokho, okubonwayo kuyamangalisa. Ngesinye isikhathi ngesikhathi i-The Fly idlala, kwavela inkohliso emangalisa esikrinini ukuthi uphahla lwehholo lwehla lubheke izethameli. Kokuthi “Zama Ukundiza Uzungeze Umhlaba Ngezingalo Zakho,” intambo yangempela ilenga ophahleni oluxhunywe kubhaluni ende ebonakalayo.
Lapho Imigwaqo Ingenalo Igama ihlanganisa izithombe ze-panoramic ezidlula isikhathi zogwadule lwase-Nevada njengoba ilanga lihamba esibhakabhakeni phezulu. Kwaphela imizuzu embalwa kwakungathi singaphandle.
Njengoba ngicasukile, nginokungabaza okuthile nge-Sphere. Amathikithi awashibhile. Isikrini esikhulu sangaphakathi sacishe saligwinya iqembu, elalibukeka lincane uma libukwa ngenhla kwehholo. Amandla ezihlwele ayebonakala ezolile ngezinye izikhathi, kungathi abantu babambeke kakhulu ezibukweni ukuze bajabulele abaculi.
I-Sphere iwukugembula okumba eqolo, futhi kusazobonakala ukuthi abanye abaculi bazokwazi yini ukuxhaphaza indawo yayo eyingqayizivele njengobuciko. Kodwa le ndawo isivele inesiqalo esihle. Uma bengaqhubeka nalokhu, kungenzeka sibona ikusasa lokusebenza bukhoma.

Xhumana nathi ukuze uthole ulwazi olwengeziwe mayelana nesibonisi se-Sphere LED
