Lighting Installation

“Disco in Technisches Museum” was a long-term installation developed in collaboration with the Technisches Museum Wien, designed to translate the essence of music and sound into a spatial, immersive experience.

The concept was rooted in the visual language of waveforms—both acoustic and luminous. Inspired by the structure of sound waves, the installation transformed the exhibition space into a dynamic environment where light behaved like sound: flowing, pulsing, and surrounding the visitor. Curved lines, rhythmic sequences, and layered light compositions created the sensation of being physically enveloped by waves of energy.

The installation consisted of approximately 60 RGB light units, each individually programmed to achieve precise color and intensity variations. Due to the absence of a traditional lighting console, the entire control system was developed through a custom workflow using Excel in collaboration with a programmer. Every light was meticulously defined—channel by channel, value by value—allowing for complex, synchronized sequences that simulated wave propagation through space.

Despite its unconventional technical approach, the system proved to be highly effective and stable over time. The installation remained active for several years, offering visitors an engaging and sensory interpretation of sound through light.
