Essen Light Festival

#4 Hypar | Light Installation

Hypar Collective, Nederlands

Discover Hypar, a work of art that combines nature and technology. In the interplay of light and sound, the initially separate worlds of nature and technology collide and eventually merge into a beautiful combination of the two. Hypar is created by carefully arranging a modular set of cubes in the exacting pattern of a hyperbolic paraboloid. The artwork was created for GLOW Eindhoven in 2019 and shown at the Vilnius Light Festival in 2021.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm

Location: Forecourt Grillo-Theater
