Order 2OO at Prisma festival in Portugal

Order 2OO at Prisma festival in Portugal

PRISMA festival, a leading new media and light art event in the municipality of Aveiro on the Portuguese coast, took place from October 8 to 11 with a special theme: “the shape of things.” It was an opportunity to explore the possibilities of geometry, perception, and creation. With its 200 nautical lamps, Order 2OO evokes the duality between order and disorder. The intersection of lines and points of light obscured by mist creates chaos in this enclosed space. Set to a musical composition by Cédric Beron, this installation uses perspective to suggest a mesmerizing depth, regardless of where you view it from.

Octo and Asklipion in Corsica

From September 12 to 14, 2025, the village of Borgo was transformed into an open stage where the dialogue between works of art and heritage offered a new reading of the latter.

The works Asklipion and Octo by artist Emilien Guesnard joined the program of eight light, sound and visual installations that punctuated an astonishing nocturnal stroll through sacred, hidden and natural places.

Vortex: in situ creation in Montreal

Vortex: in situ creation in Montreal

As part of the Lumino festival organized by the Partenariat du Quartier des Spectacles in Montreal, Nicolas Paolozzi created the in situ work Vortex. This luminous, airborne, streamlined creation is an immersive installation that generates a constantly changing atmosphere. Geometry, light and water intertwine to give viewers a unique visual and sensory experience. Comprising luminous octagons arranged on top of one another, the installation seems to float gently over the indoor fountain. Inspired by the architecture of Complexe Desjardins, the work is eco-friendly, being made from recycled and recyclable materials. Contemplating it produces a feeling of lightness that transports viewers to a world of dreams and imagination.

Exhibited from January to June 2025

Point of (No) Return premiere at Fjord Oslo Festival

Anastasia Isachsen’s new creation Point of (No) Return was shown for the first time from 31 October to 3 November 2024 as part of the emblematic Fjord Oslo festival.

Anastasia Isachsen’s new creation Point of (No) Return was shown for the first time from 31 October to 3 November 2024 as part of the emblematic Fjord Oslo festival.
Interactive and hypnotic, the work immerses the audience in a visual spectacle that invites us to question our impact on the environment. When they stand close to the circular structure, the ice begins to melt. When they step back, the water becomes ice again. The more he allows himself to be absorbed by the images, the more the flow of water becomes uncontrollable, eventually turning into a dark storm – approaching a point of no return?

Les Scintillons, hidden in Mantes-la-Jolie walls

Les Scintillons, hidden in Mantes-la-Jolie walls

For thousands of years, in Mantes-la-Jolie, the Light has been preparing. It has been hiding in the bricks and blocks that form the walls of your flats, houses, car parks and shopping centres.
It has infused itself, condensed in matter, soaking it with its flow as sweet as honey. The Light has waited, day after day, year after year, until one day it will burst forth and flood the human world once again.
To do this, it is accompanied by a timeless people: the Scintillons. Their bodies are made of vibrations and dust of pure light. Each Scintillon is unique and embodies a note carrying a message for Humanity.
For the Lueurs de Mantes festival, the Light has decided to come out of hiding. With the help of a dozen volunteer Scintillons, the public discovered the messages they had to convey.

Organ – in situ adaptation

Posted on | by Caroline Bernard

Organ – in situ adaptation

On the occasion of Lueurs de Mantes light festival, artist Nicolas Paolozzi made an in situ adaptation of his audiovisual work Organ, in the stunning church of Mantes-la-Jolie.

At the crossroads of light and sound, Organ interacts with the architecture of the space, revealing and enhancing its beauty. Composed of LED tube panels and accompanied by a laser projection, it highlights the lines and volumes of the environment, transforming the structure into a true visual composition.

In sync with an enchanting musical score, the interplay of lights follows the rhythm with precision, heightening the intensity of the sensory experience. This immersive interaction creates a large-scale spectacle where light becomes an instrument and architecture, a vibrant stage of emotions.

Both lightweight and refined, Organ seamlessly blends into its surroundings, offering a poetic and majestic reinterpretation of the space. Its minimalist technical setup allows for a flexible and adaptable implementation while delivering a monumental and immersive experience.
