VEKTOR
2024 - Berlin, Germany
WHITEvoid
VEKTOR is the latest audiovisual installation by international light artist Christopher Bauder. 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. Moments and memories from his life are processed into an abstract light art experience.
Visitors are submerged in a wondrously fascinating sound and imagescape. The architectural spatial sculptures made of iridescent laser light, which are closely linked to the soundtrack, lead far into an unknown, luminous future. In a previously impossible way, a multitude of light sources moving in space are woven into a single, almost living organism of pure light. Bauder's lifelong fascination and work with the most diverse types of light culminates here at the limits of human imagination and technical feasibility.
With an area of over 2000 sqm, VEKTOR is Bauder's largest indoor light art installation. An installation as technically complex and unique as VEKTOR is only possible through collaboration with outstanding technical partners, whose extensive expertise helps to push the boundaries of what is possible.
The art and design studio WHITEvoid is responsible for the production of the entire event. KINETIC LIGHTS has developed a new, powerful precision motorized winch system especially for this installation, which can simultaneously move 50 high-performance lasers synchronously in space with milimeter precision.
