A large-scale kinetic light art installation

VEKTOR is the latest audiovisual installation by Christopher Bauder at Kraftwerk Berlin. In his most personal work to date, Bauder fuses kinetic light from 50 moving lasers with a self-composed three-dimensional soundscape to create a synaesthetic work of art.

Light_poesis > Mischa Kuball

The quiet magic of nature

With Light_poesis, Mischa Kuball (*1959, Düsseldorf/DE) breaks through the boundaries of presumably habitual dimensions.
