Museum of London Reflections
LUX: New wave of contemporary art in London, an immersive interactive design exhibition curated by SUUM in collaboration with Fact and 180 Studio.
I think it was a great success as it brought together 12 artists who used immersive art to blur the boundaries between the physical and virtual worlds. The whole exhibition was filled with light and sound effects, the constantly changing folding screens and the total immersion experience were what I found so successful.
All of the experimental art installations use cutting-edge digital tools (3D projection technology, quantum computing, game engines, etc.) to achieve the most immersive visual effects, exploring the relationship between light and perception and between man and nature and technology.
My favourite is this work by A’strict Starry Beach. A surreal space to feel the surging waves under a starry beach. With the sound of lapping waves, the waves projected on the wall are punctuated by dots of luminescence in a unique visual rhythm against the pitch black environment. And the installation is the last of the azure ones, giving the impression of feeling the virtual waves churning in a slightly exhausted and unfulfilled state.
