Immersive Cyber Sci-Fi Installations @ Winter Lights London

Iphone Video HEOFON LIGHT MAZE by Ben Busche provided great fun and was almost like being in a Gaspar Noé movie, roaming down a passage inside one of his Love Hotels! The maze is made from acrylic glass and geometrically arranged so that the lights change to create rainbow colours and other vibrant light reflections. The position of the glass have an infinity-mirror feel to it which is probably why I felt like I couldn’t leave. I actually went around the maze four times because it was so much fun.

Iphone Video CABOT SQUARE FOUNTAIN gave way to a fantastical light and water show accompanied by Disney music! I lay on my back and watched as the water looked like it was going to cascade upon me in several small waves. There was also something really liberating about seeing the squirting of water from that angle, spurting and expelling up into the air, seemingly like the drops of water were glittering in the atmosphere.

Iphone Video COLOUR MOVES by Rombout Frieling Lab exhibited at the Adams Plaza Bridge. Inside either end of the bridge was decorated by digital graphic patterns with coloured LED lights phasing in and out at various points upon the pattern. The basis of the installation is to show how the mind can decipher your own illusions and patterns when the conditions change. Below is a quote from the Rombot Frieling Lab website which has some further pictures and videos: ‘Our perception is limited to our senses and what we see is subject to the conditions. The word has countless perspectives and colour is an effective metaphor. And movement can be in the mind.’ Rombot Frieling Lab
