47 projectors, 100 designers, and one idea

🔴 The truth behind the 3D Mapping Show at the Center for Islamic Civilization that has amazed many

 

 

 

The 3D mapping show currently being demonstrated on an experimental basis at the Center for Islamic Civilization in Uzbekistan is a technologically advanced performance created to convey a historical and educational idea. Developed by the Russian company Sila Sveta, the project features 47 Barco projectors with 45,000 lumens of brightness, a 25-minute creative production, and the result of work by around 100 members of a creative and technical team, including 50 designers. The show is aimed at blending technological sophistication with spiritual meaning. Although still in its trial stage, it has already generated considerable resonance among both international and local audiences.

 

 

The Birth of the Idea

 

According to Alexander Us, co-founder and creative director of Sila Sveta, this project will be “one of the largest shows in Central Asia”. He explains that the idea is not merely a collection of illuminated walls or impressive projections, but rather an artistic journey that narrates the history of Uzbekistan in a new visual form.

 

“We worked on this show for half a year. The Director of the Center for Islamic Civilization, Firdavs Abdukhalikov, and his scientific team provided us with invaluable support by collecting deep historical materials about great scholars and cities. It was an exciting experience for us. Studying the civilization of Uzbekistan its scholars and philosophers became an adventure for our entire team,” said Us.

 

The People Who Made History

 

The central idea of the mapping show is to honor the people who elevated Uzbekistan to the level of a great civilization throughout history. The focus is not on events, but on individuals scholars, poets, rulers, and scientists. Figures such as Ibn Sina, Al-Khwarizmi, Imam al-Bukhari, Ulugh Beg Mirzo, and Amir Temur stand at the heart of this luminous story.

 

“We are people close to the European worldview, yet we were astonished to learn how much actually began here, in Uzbekistan. For instance, the roots of arithmetic, astronomy, medicine, and even energy sciences are here. It felt like rediscovering so many things. That’s why we worked on this project with great enthusiasm. Our goal was to create a living performance that would impress both scholars and young children alike,” said Alexander.

 

The Symbolism of the Show

 

The most significant symbol of the show is the opening scene of the Qur’an. Through this scene, the unity of history and the present is expressed. During the projection, the walls of the Center appear to become transparent, light flows inward, and the Holy Book seems to “emerge.”

 

“This is not only a display of technical beauty, but a profound message it represents the entry of knowledge and enlightenment into a new era,” says Alexander Us.

 

In this show, light becomes the word, the building becomes a page, and history transforms into a living image. Every projection, every musical note, every color is an artistic declaration dedicated to the rich culture of the Uzbek people.

 

The walls of the Center for Islamic Civilization are no longer just a building they have become the voice of past centuries and a luminous legacy for future generations.

 

Additional Information

 

The Russian company Sila Sveta is an internationally renowned creative group with extensive experience in large-scale light shows. However, this project was a special challenge even for them, as technology had to merge seamlessly with history and spirituality.

 

“The hardest part was uniting history, artistry, and technology as one living body. But we succeeded. Now every visitor can see history with their own eyes and feel it with their heart,” says Sila Sveta’s art director, Asya Degtyaryova.

 

Live music plays a central role in the show. Melodies performed on national instruments have been transformed through digital technology into new forms. Each portal has its own unique sound and rhythm reflecting the spirit of the region it represents. The voices of professional narrators add artistic depth to the historical stories.

 

The 3D mapping show is currently being presented experimentally at the Khorezm portal chosen not by chance, as Khorezm has long been a center of science, art, and culture.

 

According to Asya Degtyaryova, the project is still in development and will continue to be refined:

 

“We’re not stopping here. We’ll continue until every ray of light and every sound becomes perfect. Because this is not just a show it’s the heartbeat of a nation, a story spoken in the language of light.”

 

The 3D mapping show at the Center for Islamic Civilization not only amazes its audience but also inspires deep reflection, encouraging them to feel their roots.

 

At the end of the show, the audience comes to a profound realization: this land is the cradle of enlightenment, the source of knowledge, and the homeland of light.

 

 

 

This show reminds us that not forgetting history is the brightest path toward the future.

 

The creators of the project also plan to expand this experience to other cities such as Samarkand, Bukhara, and Shahrisabz, eventually presenting it nationwide.
