Global Illumination: The Object of The Mind

A projection within the »SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE«

For the first time, the artist collective »Global Illumination« is creating a show for the SCHLOSSLICHTSPIELE: »The Object of The Mind«. In their show, »Global Illumination« recapitulate the technological development steps that have led to our networked information society: The show begins with the era of analog machines, punched cards, 8-bit processors and PCs, and artificial neural networks. It tells the story of apparatuses, machines and codes that have initiated digital change and open up space for the creative imagination of man. 

»Global Illumination« is a collective of visual artists and filmmakers dealing with short films, animations, video mappings and AV performances. The common vision of Global Illumination is to combine breathtaking, original visuals with messages that make it possible to gain knowledge. The core team members came into contact with psychedelic culture in the mid-1990s. Since then they have produced numerous short films, animations and music videos, commercials, stage sets and VJ performances for festivals such as Ozora and S.U.N. in Hungary or Boom in Portugal. For the projection mapping of the parliament building in Bucharest, which was created in cooperation with Limelight, the group won jury and audience awards.
