More than a music festival, Eclipse is a genuine happening: In the midst of nature, a genuine “village” is erected by its 3,000 residents and vanishes without a trace four days later. This parallel universe, made up of unlikely buildings and installations, shines with a thousand lights when night falls. This magic is made possible through the collaboration of various artists: decorators, performers and VJs.

[DECO]

SOLAR DELIRIA
(Deliria, Mexico)

Recognizable thanks to their gigantism and originality, Solar’s installations are known and loved in the largest international festivals (Boom, Voov, Sonica...). He returns to Eclipse this year to stun us once more with his exclusive installations and his even more imposing decor.

BLOOMING SAKURA
(Green Sector, Los Angeles)

Magic through design. Dreamers wanted. Forget this world and step into the dream. Get ready for a multi-sensorial tingling. Expect the golden light of abundant decoration and sonic delights.


[VISUALS]

With 8 VJ artists taking turns to illuminate the main stage’s giant screens, you will enter an astounding visual environment and be immersed in an equilibrium between form and light from which emerge images to guide your dance moves and electronic dreams that will stay with you long after the festival.

François,
Today you’ve proven to us again that life is fragile and that sometimes it only hangs on by a thread... You were a talented artist and an incredible visual poet. Tech Safari’s team was looking forward to your musical and visual performance at Eclipse. We could hardly wait. We were very happy to count you among our close collaborators. You were a person that everyone benefited from knowing, a human like there are few.

Wherever you are, rest in peace and console your loved ones by whispering in their ears that your soul and the love you had for them are eternal. It’s up to you now to make angels dance... We will have a sincere thought for you during our festival... Farewell. Rest in peace.
We present our respect and sincere condolences to your entire family and your numerous friends.

CHAKRA CORONA
(Mexico)

Chakra Corona is the name of Fernando Aguinaco's real time image mixing project on which he has been working on since 1997, also participating sometimes with other fellow visual artists.
Using the highest technology available with the help of projections, multimedia montages and video loops that synchronize with the sound, he mixes them with other loops, visual messages and infinite realistic and abstract images.
The real time mixes of VJ Chakracorona are similar to a DJ's, but with the use of images and different tools such as a computer, DVD, repetitive loops, MIDI and software that obtain an excellent response by manipulating images in movement, he harmonizes them with the audio artist while intensifying the visual sense.
Chakracorona has been participating in the musical scene and important festivals both in Mexico City and the rest of the country.
