We are Playgrounds
Project description
On April 15, 2026, The Art Department by We Are Playgrounds returned to the iconic Klokgebouw. This festival and its accompanying conference are entirely dedicated to design and craftsmanship within film, animation, and games, making it a unique meeting place for the creative industry.
This edition was particularly special, marking 20 years of Playgrounds with a program that was larger and more diverse than ever. Over the course of three days, visitors enjoyed a packed schedule across multiple rooms, featuring talks by international artists, hands-on workshops, live demos, film screenings, live sketch sessions, portfolio reviews, exhibitions, and ample networking opportunities with industry professionals.
Naturally, technology played a key role. For each room, we delivered a high-quality, tailor-made AV setup.
In the Main Hall, a 10 by 4.5 meter LED screen by Absen formed the visual centerpiece of the technical setup. Surrounding it were nine additional LED screens in various sizes, complemented by two 4 by 3 meter camera LED screens and two projection screens measuring 3.45 by 6 meters.
Hall B also featured a stage designed to ensure optimal visibility for speakers. This space was equipped with two projection screens measuring 4.8 by 2.7 meters, allowing the audience to clearly follow presentations from anywhere in the room.
The Living Room, by contrast, offered a more intimate setting, featuring two 86-inch screens on stands and one 65-inch screen, ideal for smaller sessions and interactive formats.
In addition to visual elements, significant attention was given to lighting, sound, and technical direction in all presentation spaces, ensuring that each session was supported to the highest technical and content standards.
