Canon presents "NEOREAL WONDER: The world of Canon digital imaging" at Milano Salone design festival
TOKYO, February 16, 2011—Canon Inc. announced today that, from April 12 to 17, 2011, the company will again participate in the Milano Salone, one of the world's largest design festivals, held annually in Milan, Italy.
About Milano Salone
Entering its 50th year, the Milano Salone has been held every April since 1961 as a forum for leading-edge designers and companies to promote the appeal of their latest brands and designs to others in the field and media from around the globe. Last year's festival, which featured 1,326* exhibiting companies and organizations, recorded an attendance of approximately 298,000 visitors.
NEOREAL WONDER
Over the three consecutive years since 2008, Canon has exhibited at the Milano Salone under the theme NEOREAL, signifying "a new world of sensibilities." To mark Milano Salone's 50th anniversay, this year Canon will target the further pursuit of new possibilities under the theme NEOREAL WONDER, presenting a world of imaging expression in which lightness and innovation coexist.
Overview of this year's Canon exhibition
This year's exhibition combines the talents of two teams of cutting-edge designers. In the main space (approx. 320 m2), under the theme "Light Loom," the architectural team TORAFU ARCHITECTS will create a three-dimensional screen realized through countless strands of leveling cord (width: 0.5 mm/length: 16 m). On this screen, under the theme "Circle of Light," will be projected images produced by the visual design studio WOW comprising the expressions of multi-colored light.
From input to output, this year's exhibition is made possible through the use of Canon digital imaging technology. Approximately 20 Canon projectors, including the WUX10 MarkII, incorporating the company's LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) technology, will project images from multiple locations throughout the space. The images that will be projected were created using such devices as the EOS 5D digital SLR camera and the new iVIS HF M41 digital video camcorder, equipped with the same high-performance CMOS image sensor used in the company's professional-use camcorder.
No. of participating companies and organizations from Italy: 1,044; from outside Italy: 282
