SUMBLIME TECNOLOGICO - WHISPER
WHISPER
IMMERSIVE LIGHT & SOUND EXPERIENCE
A brand-new holographic installation designed for the basement area. Expect optical illusions, playful light tricks, and a sense of wonder that lingers long after you’ve left the room…
CONCEPT
Inspired by poetry, art, German Romantic philosophy, and nature, this installation will bring you to an aquatic environment haunted by ethereal female spirits, evoking the spirit of the Undine.
These feminine beings often dwell near water sources. Many European legends describe them as wandering spirits, eternally in search of love—generally benevolent, but ready to kill or take vengeance in the event of betrayal or humiliation.
Get ready to enter this world of spirits, optical illusions and playful light tricks, where your presence and movement will interact with these creatures, all accompanied by the sound of flowing water.

Presence Algorithm: HORIZO
AI BASED INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE
CONCEPT
If AI can generate anything, who decides what it should create?
Horizo explores the role of human presence in creation.
In a dialogue between AI and human sensitivity, images are activated and take shape only through the interaction of those who are present, questioning whether creativity can exist without the human element.
We invite the public to draw on a blank canva without ink — their gestures trigger real-time AI transformations.
The canva responds with evolving shapes and colors, giving form to invisible intention.
Spectators aren’t just watching — they are shaping images. What happens when we guide the machine with our choices, not just observe its logic?

NEXT
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE - VIRTUAL REALITY
CONCEPT
This immersive experience transports you to a future where humanity has irreversibly transformed its environment.
Based on material learned by artificial intelligence, you will explore devastated landscapes that anchor these generated scenes in an almost recognizable near-future. Through nightmarish and predictive vision you will see what awaits us if we don’t profoundly change our lifestyles.
As we are already in an urgent global crisis, NEXT, with the concept of Anthropocene, is a message ongoing. But it also represents hope, through the dancing bodies of a new generation ready to fight to preserve our natural and architectural heritage.

IED - Urban Secrets: A Glimpse Into Intimacy
Urban Secrets: A Glimpse Into Intimacy
IMMERSIVE ART PROJECT
CONCEPT
This immersive installation aims to raise awareness of the pervasive presence of technology in our daily lives. Through the image of windows, the installation addresses issues such as digital privacy and “digital voyeurism”.
The work highlights the mutual influence between observers and the observed: although the spectators are the observers, they may not realize that they themselves are subject to the observation. Urban Secrets, therefore, is not limited to being a visual installation, but also represents an in-depth reflection on complex human and digital relationships.

SVEN SAUER - DEAL
Deal
LIGHT & SOUND
CONCEPT
The light and sound installation reflects the pressures of a meritocratic world where performance dictates success. Pulsing lights and shifting soundscapes mirror the artist’s experience of creative freedom exchanged for the pressure to perform. As the artist slows down due to a chronic illness, the erratic lights and fragmented sounds capture the uncertainty of managing symptoms with medication, whose long-term effects remain unknown. The installation asks: how does it feel to make a deal where the outcomes are unclear, but the pressure to keep up persists?
ARTIST
SVEN SAUER
Sven Sauer is a Berlin based artist. Focusing on the connection between social movements and local structures in megacities, his mostly audiovisual installations expose symptoms of society and show the pace of our development-orientated technology, which seems to have overwhelmed the human capacity for absorption. He usually does not express a firm opinion but rather leads viewers to question their own point of view.
Cofounder of the art collective ‘360 minutes art’, from 2016, he also created large exhibitions and art festivals in Berlin with the groups ‘The Dark Rooms Exhibition’ and ‘Wir im Raum’. His work also range through the theatre and to the VFX, working on international film productions – such as ‘AtomicBlonde’, ‘Hugo Cabret’ and ‘Game of Thrones’.
