SINGAPORE, 18 AUGUST 2023 – As the global community grapples with environmental sustainability, motorsport events along with its heavy reliance on fossil fuels, have often been scrutinised for their environmental impact. Now with a mission to accelerate human progress, DZ Engineering SRL, a subsidiary of Dino Zoli Group, ensures that sustainability trickles through everything they do – and this year the team provides the lighting for race events across the globe with a massive replacement of their floodlights, using LED lights, provided by long-term lighting partner Signify for the upcoming Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix 2023.

Discarded floodlights will be upcycled and featured in the artworks of 10 artists to be displayed at the exhibition organised by Dino Zoli Foundation, an institution dedicated to preserving Italian culture worldwide, with Signify as the main sponsor. A Project of Art in the Night Race, The New Life of the Floodlights will be held from 13 to 19 September 2023 at The Arts House, Singapore.

Lighting Up The Race Track, One LED Light at A Time

DZ Engineering SRL, with its innovative installation system has supported motorsport events since the debut of the 2008 FIA Formula 1 World Championship in Singapore, bringing homogenous lighting for the safety of drivers and spectators and simultaneously ensuring high-definition television footage of the night races.

DZ Engineering has been partnering with Signify in lighting up motorsport night races around the world with their smart lighting innovations. Its LED systems reduces energy consumption by at least 30% when compared to metal-halide bulb systems to significantly reduce carbon footprint for night races. Signify’s LED lights reduce CO2 emissions and contain no hazardous substances such as mercury, making them an environmentally-friendly choice and giving the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix the required support on its sustainability journey.

Pledging their dedication towards ensuring greener practices in motorsport, DZ Engineering SRL and Signify bore the understanding of how much energy a race circuit requires. As such, the organisation designed the innovative Race Track Lighting system, built with Signify’s cutting-edge LED solutions, with lower energy expenditure, and it is set to transform the visibility and racing experience for drivers and spectators alike. This greener system was gradually implemented over races such as the Formula E-Prix in Diriyah and, more recently, the Formula E event held in London since its first introduction in 2021, with the lights skilfully installed along a section of the circuit to ensure optimal visibility and safety for participants. Following the successful execution in recent races, DZ Engineering SRL is similarly excited to bring this energy and vibrancy to the Marina Bay Street Circuit.

While the challenge lies in raising awareness, DZ Engineering SRL and Signify have the right tools to influence the behaviour of thousands of fans by harnessing the power of LED lighting technology to create better entertainment experiences.

The main advantage of LED lies in them being a less maintenance-intensive and energy-efficient technology, stemming from their lower power consumption of 1,305 Watts per LED light, compared to a whopping 2,040 watts per floodlight. Besides having at least 30% less power consumption, lighting levels are not compromised, ensuring that night races will still take place under the safest and brightest conditions. Furthermore, the new LEDs boast higher durability and a longer lifespan of up to 100,000 burning hours, in contrast to the 7,000 of the original floodlights, pointing to decreased frequency of replacement of the lights from wear and tear.

Not Trash but Treasure

Taking its environmental efforts a step further, Dino Zoli Foundation has embarked on a project to upcycle the replaced floodlights which once shone brightly in the Formula 1 night races in Singapore. As the Foundation recognises the need to draw attention towards environmental sustainability, it similarly sees art as a medium with the capacity to inspire and enthral. Encouraging artists based in Singapore to give these floodlights a new life, Dino Zoli Foundation hopes that the resultant art pieces will serve to send an important message on the importance of being aware of our impact on the environment.

These artistic endeavours of various local and Singapore-based artists will culminate in A Project of Art in the Night Race. The New Life of the Floodlights. – a mixed-medium art exhibition that explores the influence of the eco-conscious philosophy on artists who combine a fresh aesthetic sensibility with a constructive approach to the upcycling of floodlights through a display of art.

Curated by Nadia Stefanel, Director of Dino Zoli Foundation, who has worked on several cultural events for motorsport in Singapore, the exhibition will feature the works of 10 rising artists, including Anuska Sarkar, Ashley Hi, Chok Si Xuan, Daniel Chong, Elena Lo Giudice, Iman Sengupta, Jeyasree Chandrakumaran, Kumari Nahappan, Victoria Hertel, and Yeo Ker Siang.

A testament to the power of collaboration, the project has received tremendous support from the Embassy of Italy, EuroCham, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. It has further been selected by the Singapore Tourism Board to be part of the official programme of Grand Prix Season Singapore 2023 (GPSS). Furthermore, the exhibition will feature some works of exhibiting artists who are also alumni and members of these schools and organisations. These contributions have been further supported by LASALLE College of the Arts (LASALLE), the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS), as well as cultural partners such as Art Galleries Association Singapore (AGAS) and the non-profit arts intermediary, Art Outreach Singapore.

With this massive switch to new LED lights, DZ Engineering SRL remains fully aware of the importance of reducing waste by reusing and recycling scrapped material. While about 5% of the discarded metal halide lights will be upcycled for the exhibition, another 12% will be repurposed for the F1 event, and the remainder might be allocated for other ongoing projects.

As DZ Engineering SRL and Signify continue to light up the Lion City, they look to do so eco-consciously as they further inspire more Singaporean motorsport enthusiasts to emulate the adoption of their own eco-conscious ideals and make lifestyle changes for a greener future.

Everything is illuminated, mostra fotografica fra Singapore, Italia e Vietnam.

DZ Engineering e DZE Asia Ambassador in Vietnam

Hanoi, Casa Italia 8-15 marzo;
Hanoi, University of Civil Engineering (HUCE) 16-18 marzo

Con gioia annunciamo che DZ Engineering, azienda del Gruppo Dino Zoli che si occupa di illuminazione per il patrimonio artistico e per il motorsport, è stata invitata come Ambassador presso l’Ambasciata Italiana ad Hanoi, in Vietnam, durante la settima edizione del IDD Design Day.

La Giornata del Design Italiano è una rassegna tematica annuale organizzata dal Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale (Farnesina) in collaborazione con il Ministero dei Beni Culturali. L’evento copre oltre 100 Paesi e consiste in un ampio programma di attività promozionali realizzate da una rete di ambasciate, consolati, istituti italiani di cultura all’estero, che presentano il design e la creatività d’eccellenza dell’Italia.

Il tema di quest’anno è “The quality that illuminates. The energy of design for people and the environment”, per questo motivo è stata realizzata una esposizione fotografica di dodici siti storici e contemporanei, illuminati dalla DZ Engineering, per offrire uno spaccato di un Paese capace di guardare al futuro senza dimenticare la propria storia. La mostra prende spunto da quella realizzata nel 2019, con il titolo Everything is illuminated, Geographies of Views Between History and Contemporaneity, a Singapore in occasione del Gran Premio di F1. La mostra ideata dalla Fondazione Dino Zoli e curata da Gigliola Foschi e Nadia Stefanel con opere di Alessandra Baldoni, Luca Gilli, Cosmo Laera, Luca Marianaccio, Lucrezia Roda e Pio Tarantini, venne allestita presso The Arts House.

Il progetto poi, nell’autunno del 2019, con il titolo “Gradazioni di luce. Geografie di sguardi tra storia e contemporaneità” venne allestito in Fondazione Dino Zoli, a Forlì, presentandosi nella sua interezza e, nel febbraio 2020, al Castello Svevo di Bari in una veste rinnovata dedicata al territorio pugliese e promossa dalla Direzione Regionale Musei Puglia. L’esposizione si poneva come evento di accoglienza all’incontro “Mediterraneo, frontiera di pace”, promosso dalla CEI, al quale parteciparono i vescovi cattolici di venti Paesi che si affacciano sul ‘Mare Nostrum’.

Importante anche la concomitanza di quest’anno con le celebrazioni del 50° anniversario delle relazioni diplomatiche tra i due Paesi “Vietnam-Italia 2023”.

L’inaugurazione della mostra, che si terrà l’8 marzo ad Hanoi, prevederà anche uno speech sul lighting design di Roberto Grilli, General Manager di DZ Engineering.

Twelve Years of Lights and Racing in the Lion City

SINGAPORE, 30 AUGUST 2022 — After a two-year hiatus, Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix is returning with a bang. This time, as part of the festivities leading up to the event, DZ Engineering SRL, a subsidiary of Dino Zoli Group which is owned and led by Dino, Monica, and Marco Zoli, shines brighter than ever with Twelve Years of Lights and Racing in the Lion City. The photographic exhibition will be held from 28 September to 3 October 2022 at The Arts House and is organised in tandem with the returning Grand Prix in celebration of 12 years of lighting up the exciting motorsport event in Singapore; an event also officially part of the Grand Prix Season Singapore 2022 (GPSS 2022).

Documenting 12 years of Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix history

Twelve Years of Lights and Racing in the Lion City lends inspiration from continental circuses – the professionals, transport and other support vehicles, and motorhomes placed adjacent to the racing circuits of motor sports events, such as Formula 1, which follow or precede the drivers in the various places where the competitions take place. Likewise, the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix has always brought exciting seasonal festivities with it. Here in Singapore, Twelve Years of Lights and Racing in the Lion City is set to retell the dazzling story of the first night-time event in all of Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix’s history, establishing itself as an important periodical component of Singapore’s culture and lifestyle.

Historically significant, this photographic exhibition reveals the evolution of Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix and is curated by Nadia Stefanel for the Dino Zoli Foundation. She has also worked on past cultural events for Motorsports in Singapore. In partnership with the Foundation, DZ Engineering SRL has also presented various shows related to the Motorsport industry since 2017 to bridge the sport and art in the backdrop of the city’s own rich culture.

This time round, the Dino Zoli Foundation has chosen to feature the work of Italian photographer Flavio Mazzi, who has become, over four decades, one of the most accomplished photographers in the world of Formula 1. His archive of images includes over 450 Formula 1 Grand Prix competitions, team launches, ranging from private factory glimpses, exclusive VIP F1 events to several other racing highlights.

DZ Engineering SRL lights the way for Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix

Since the debut of FIA Formula 1 World Championship 14 years ago in Singapore, DZ Engineering SRL, with its innovative installation system, has brought perfect homogenous lighting for two crucial aspects of the show: the safety of the drivers and the spectators as well as ensuring high-definition television footage for an unforgettable show. The first night-time event in Formula 1 history in 2008 was record-breaking for the brand, as the world saw Singapore’s stunning skyline as the backdrop of the first race held at the new Marina Bay Street Circuit.

DZ Engineering SRL has lit up the atmosphere of race cars and changed the game for watching motorsports ever since its debut. Twelve Years of Lights and Racing in the Lion City is a culmination of their enthralling efforts over the years, bringing attendees the opportunity to be immersed in the iconic atmosphere of race cars through vibrant photos that tell the thrills and story of the Race Night in Singapore.

“Even though F1 Grand Prix Singapore has been on hold for two years, DZ Engineering SRL has never really taken a break and we have continued working in different fields, honing our knowledge of Motorsports events around the World.” — Roberto Grilli, General Manager of DZ Engineering SRL

Everything is illuminated. Geographies of Views Between History and Contemporaneity

In 2019, the preview of the photographic exhibition “Everything is illuminated. Geographies of Views Between History and Contemporaneity” was set up, conceived by the Dino Zoli Foundation and curated by Gigliola Foschi and Nadia Stefanel with works by Alessandra Baldoni, Luca Gilli, Cosmo Laera, Luca Marianaccio, Lucrezia Roda and Pio Tarantini; set up at The Arts House, on the occasion of the Formula 1 Grand Prix, the exhibition by six Italian photographers told the visual story of twelve historical and contemporary sites illuminated by DZ Engineering (from Castel del Monte to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia – both UNESCO World Heritage Sites – from Ferrara’s chemical complex to the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia), offering themselves up as a cross-section of a country, Italy, capable of looking to the future without forgetting its multiple and many-layered historical roots.

La Basilica di Siponto by Edoardo Tresoldi, Dino Zoli Foundation

from 13 October 2018 to 13 January 2019

• Un racconto tra Rovine, Paesaggio e Luce

Curated by Nadia Stefanel

In autumn 2018, the photographic exhibition entitled “La Basilica di Siponto. Un racconto tra Rovine, Paesaggio e Luce” [The Basilica in Siponto. A tale of Ruins, Landscape and Light] by Edoardo Tresoldi, was organised at the home of the Dino Zoli Foundation in Forlì. For the first time, the artist had taken on the challenge of bringing an important experience back to the public, that of the creation of a permanent installation made from wire mesh dedicated to the Early Christian Basilica of Santa Maria, commissioned by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities for the “Le Basiliche” Archaeological Park in Siponto and illuminated by DZ Engineering.

The exhibition brings together sketches, photographic reproductions and videos documenting the various steps that led to the creation of the so-called sculptural architecture. The exhibition is divided into three sections: the first is dedicated to the history and the analysis of the pre-existing structure; the second focuses on architecture, also analysed through the cutting sheets; the third relates to projects carried out by the engineers of DZ Engineering.

Edoardo Tresoldi’s research is characterised by the use of wire mesh. In contrast to conventional architecture, which encloses the space creating a landscape modified by man, his minimal structure embraces the context and welcomes the human presence, giving rise to an unprecedented experience. This ethereal dimension is in constant dialogue with the landscape, which is considered a contamination of cultural, social and identity-related languages, the dynamics of which become part of the artwork.

Cube Temple, An ethereal creation of wire mesh in Singapore

13-16 September 2018

Curated by Nadia Stefanel

• In 2018, the company created the artistic lighting for some historic buildings in Singapore such as The National Gallery and Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. In 2018, in addition to the track lighting and telecommunication systems on the Marina Bay circuit for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singapore, DZ Engineering was also in charge of the artistic lighting for some historic buildings such as The National Gallery and the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, and celebrated winning international tenders with its spectacular installation entitled “Cube Temple. An ethereal creation of wire mesh in Singapore” by Edoardo Tresoldi, one of the most influential young artists in Europe (“Forbes”, 2017), definitively crowned at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. An ethereal work at Cargo made of wire mesh and light.

A dome of air, an ethereal creation of wire mesh, like the still image of a portion of the sky, encapsulated/enclosed/framed in a form as unreal to the human eye as it is tangible in its physical presence.

The artist took the harmonious lightness of the architecture, the classically composed posture, the meditation on the past between lost and restored glory and the dialogue with archaeology from the Renaissance. From modernity, he mainly borrowed the materials and the setting: Cube Temple was actually attached to the high ceiling of Cargo 39 (the venue in Singapore), resting on a pure metal skeleton.

Photographic exhibition “Stories. I racconti della Motor Valley”, Dino Zoli Foundation

from 23 September to 15 October 2017

• “Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man” Milan Kundera, “Slowness”, 1995

“Stories. I racconti della Motor Valley” [Stories. Tales from the Motor Valley], hosts over 50 photographic works by Mindy Tan and Wilfred Lim, curated by Nadia Stefanel.

With the patronage of the Italian Embassy, the Cultural Institute and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore, the exhibition is fresh from the great public success achieved during the première (from 14 to 17 September 2017), which took place in the prestigious The Arts House in Singapore, at the same time as the night stage of the Formula 1 circuit in Marina Bay, of which DZ Engineering has been a main partner from the very beginning.

Within the renowned Italian Motor Valley – located along the famous Via Emilia, muse from Rimini to Piacenza for the likes of Luigi Ghirri and Paolo Ventura who set some of their best-known and most lyrical projects there – the two young photographers from Singapore, in artistic residence at the Foundation during the month of June, travelled through the birthplaces of Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari and Ducati to capture the legends of the engine industry landscape, with an enchanted look at what lies hidden behind the legends of the automotive establishment, capturing their passions through their creative lens. Their photographs tell the story of the Made in Italy concept, combining the legend of the automotive industry with the emotional narrative of its identity.

Photographic exhibition “Motor Valley, a Tale. An Italian Project”, Singapore

14 to 17 September 2017, The Arts House

• Since 2017, DZ Engineering has taken advantage of its partnership with the Dino Zoli Foundation (founded in 2007) to enhance its reputation, also in terms of cultural brand identity. Over the years, several projects related to the MotorSport industry have been implemented, especially in Singapore, during the Formula 1 Grand Prix week, where DZ Engineering builds the track lighting and telecommunication systems on the Marina Bay circuit.

The projects have always been implemented in collaboration with the Italian Embassy of Singapore, EuroCham, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore (ICCS) and the Emilia Romagna Region.

In 2017, at The Arts House, the photographic exhibition “Motor Valley, a tale. An Italian Project”, curated by Nadia Stefanel, was presented. Two young photographers, Mindy Tan and Wilfred Lim, who had stayed in Forlì, Imola, Bologna and Modena in June of that year to photograph the Motor Valley, were selected through the Singapore International Photography Festival. Through the astonished eyes of the two young foreigners, a small, ancient world – made up of engines, museums and traditions – emerged and was later exhibited during the week of the Night Race.
