The aim was to offer churchgoers, as well as future users, modern visual experiences as part of the overall concept. Before installation, the entire setup was carefully planned, taking measurements from the site and inspecting the installation location. Before the proposal, photographs were taken of the site, and a draft image was provided of the final proposal, showing what different solutions would look like at the location.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Asiakastarina - Munkkiniemen seurakunta - Munkkivuoren kirkko\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2hoG3k_Uvps?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A custom mounting solution was made for the Munkkivuori Church onto a brick wall. By designing together, the best possible location was chosen. With a sufficiently large video wall, a surface area of the right size was created in the space, which is sure to be visible all the way to the back row.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We interviewed parish vicar Leo Gladia asking for his comments and feelings after several months of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>From idea to action<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole idea has been simmering in the background for a long time for Dean Glad. The idea gained momentum again when the management team visited London and Manchester. \u2013&nbsp;<em>We saw how in the living and growing churches there, in all of them, they had these video walls. We dreamed with the leadership team that maybe one day we would want one too.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Versatile use<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video wall was put to good use immediately when Munkkivuori Church hosted the MunkkaLove music event, which appealed to visual and auditory senses. \u2013&nbsp;<em>At MunkkaLove, people from the area were asked for their song requests. We hired an orchestra and invited people to events; the churches were completely full three times, and a crucial part of these was this video wall. During the events, the wall displayed interviews, song lyrics, pictures of the original performers, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The video wall enabled versatile use of the space, with wireless solutions allowing the choir or the organist's playing to be showcased via the screen. The large screen also allows special events to be highlighted even better, for example in children's Christmas plays.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A large surface, along with lighting, can also strongly appeal to emotions.&nbsp;<em>It makes it an even more powerful experience. Just yesterday I was looking at a situation where if there was nothing like this, then as this is such a big church, you are far away and cannot see the child's expressions properly.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The arrival of the video wall has also brought increased enthusiasm for planning. \u2013&nbsp;<em>When I know up to half a year in advance when it's my turn to preach, I start thinking about the topic visually. The acquisition has brought new enthusiasm.&nbsp;<\/em>At the same time, new ideas have also emerged regarding the versatile use of the church, ranging from screening major sporting events to film series with a Christ theme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>After we had agreed on the installation and delivery with Jidoka, that's how it went. The video wall turned out to be quite successful. One might think that installing a large video wall could easily spoil such a sacred space in a church. But in this case, working together, they found a place for it that makes it even better. A simple and clear process.&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013 Leo Glad, Vicar<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Message-first communication<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>We wanted to reach a younger demographic, in this day and age where we've become accustomed to this kind of visual communication. Our culture has become very visual, visual communication is everywhere: on televisions, trams, in shopping centres or on social media. It's part of people's lives, they've become used to receiving and reading messages visually.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The tool is a message, the fact that we have such a tool in itself tells that we are trying to take the operating environment seriously, that we are living this life just like everyone else.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013 The aim with this visual aspect is not so much to achieve understanding, but rather to reach an emotional level, to generate emotional experiences. In this, the visual aspect and music are very much of this time.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The video screen is not an end in itself, but merely a tool. It is a tool with which we try to reach people and become relevant in people's lives. In that respect, the church's position has changed; it's not enough for the church to simply exist, people need to *experience* what it has to offer. That's what draws people in.\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pastor Glad emphasizes the importance of the message<em>&nbsp;\u2013 Showcasing great photos and videos isn't the end goal in itself, but rather a tool for engaging people and bringing meaning and purpose, help and support, joy and sorrow, into people's lives.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Videosein\u00e4 kirkkoon Munkkiniemen seurakunta hankki 3\u00d73 videosein\u00e4n Munkkivuoren kirkkoon.
