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.

Order 2OO, Emilien Guesnard’s audiovisual installation, was at Mons en Lumières last January, Wallonia’s first Festival of Lights.

200 nautical lamps are aligned at regular intervals in perfect symmetry on either side of a minimalist structure. This open structure offers the public a fascinating plunge into the heart of the installation. Musical notes associated with each lamp generate a strange score of light and sound. Set to a musical composition by Cédric Béron, the perspective effect of this work suggests a hypnotic depth, wherever you look from. Intersecting lines and points of light, blurred by mist, create chaos in this enclosed space. Order2OO evokes the duality of order and disorder, almost organically intertwined.
