GLOWING BULBS x MARCELL ANDRISTYÁK
Glowing Bulbs
Established in 1998, the collective evolved from the vibrant underground art scene of Budapest. Today, they continue to play an important role in the Hungarian visual art world, enlisting diverse techniques and media to create complex and coherent works. One primary example is projecting moving images to create virtual environments and fields of narration.
“In our video installations the projections are more than visual elements per se. Viewers are given the space to freely interpret these situations and explore their own individual narratives within the frames of perception”. In past years, Glowing Bulbs has created numerous video mapping and panoramic projections, live VJ performances, music videos, short films and standalone video installations. Their work has been exhibited at festivals, galleries and museums throughout Europe, North America and the Middle East.

interactive immersive video
NYX is originally an immersive interactive installation projected on three/four walls or translucent curtains. Inviting the audience on an eerie trip in the depths of a misty woodland where one will become part of a quest for light through the realms of night. The spectator’s presence in reality sparks luminous events in the virtual space where the path is flanked by a strange mixture of creatures and objects.
