goboprojektion

Goboprojektion is a term derived from the German word "Goboprojektion," which translates to "goboscope projection" or "gobo projection." It refers to a theatrical and event lighting technique that uses a gobo, a stencil or mask, placed in front of a light source to project a specific shape, pattern, or image onto a surface. Gobos are typically made of metal or glass and are inserted into a gobo slot within a lighting fixture, such as a profile spotlight or a moving head. As the light passes through the gobo, it creates a shadowed pattern that is then projected.

This technique is widely used in stage productions, concerts, architectural lighting, and corporate events to create visual effects, enhance atmosphere, or display logos and graphics. The projected images can range from simple geometric shapes and abstract patterns to intricate designs and even photographic images. The size and sharpness of the projected image can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the lighting fixture and the projection surface, as well as by using lenses within the fixture. Goboprojektion allows for dynamic and customizable lighting designs, adding depth and visual interest to any space or performance.
