Eigengrau (derived from German origin, meaning <i>‘dark light’</i>) counters the online individual information overload by creating an offline non-screen mediated collective experience. It proposes a temporary escape in a contemporary setting, where the audience is invited into a collective ritual, a feeling of togetherness. With only the means of stripped back elements of light, sound and haze, the installation creates an emotional illusion, a dialogue between darkness and light.</p>

The audiovisual experience features a custom-made LED circle, that in the timespan of 12 minutes takes the audience through a non linear time of five mental states: <i> Deep State, Anticipation State, Weird state, Higher State and Relaxation State</i>. This narrative is made visible through the pre-programmed motion of blue light gradients, referring to the colour of screen light.

Eigengrau frames the negative space, and therefore it generates an illusion of non-material space. The installation offers a suspension from the isolation and digital saturation of contemporary society. <br><br>
