Nexus means connection; the connection that gradually exists between existing inhabitants and newcomers. Nexus (2016) is—literally and metaphorically—a huge complex structure consisting out of different compartments that create a unity together. 200 light pipes create a smooth movement that moves upwards into the sky.
Nexus is a creation by Viktor Vicsek, produced by the Amsterdam Light Festival and presented by Light Art Collection and Illuminart.
Viktor Vicsek (Hungary) has been working for more than twenty years with light projections, from designing projections for theatre scenes and interactive dance performances, to 3D animations for projection mapping.
