Lofi continues to be a place for experimentation.

It’s often where new ideas take shape. For this installation, we combined the 10 and 4m diameter rings of Proximare with our 2m straight LED bars for the first time.

Curved and linear elements converge into a spatial network that recalls an infrastructure map flowing through space.

The Yard, Voodoo Village 2025

The perception of lightness in a monumental object.

At the center of the scenography were Simone Smelt’s sculptural totems. Suspended above the audience, they slowly rotated through space as light and reflections continuously reshaped the landscape, dissolving solid forms into fragments of light.

This September we’re back at Draaimolen.

Together with Kangding Ray, we’re presenting SNELWEG, a new audiovisual performance developed for the Tunnel stage.

Excited to bring this one into the world.

Contrarium by Lumus Instruments with Young Marco & Max Frimout

Take a look back at our collaboration earlier this year.

Young Marco was invited last year by Max Frimout to experience Contrarium himself. One thing led to the other. This year the duo composed an entirely new experimental live set, which we transformed together into an audiovisual performance.

At Contrarium, we like to create space for experiments. This time, it meant Max performing live on his electric harp from 1999 for the first time.

Lofi is gradually expanding. Immersive setups are not just reserved for ADE anymore. For the Q2 design, we deconstructed our large 22.5m LED circle and reconfigured it across the warehouse. Curved lines stretch like highways through space.

“Oh my God. We’re in The Lord of the Rings.” SALOME GVETADZE

“It felt like a different dimension.” PATRICK MASON

This is how artists described stepping into The Shelter for the first time.

It started with an empty field and a clear ambition from Voodoo Village: create something that felt as if it had emerged from the earth. Like a mountain. Something monumental.

We came up with the idea of a circular. A contemporary interpretation of ancient gathering places, built for today’s rituals.

As the festival season begins, we’re looking back at some of our favorite moments from the last one. The Shelter is definitely one of them.

This July, a new iteration of Actualization will be presented at the Dark Rooms Exhibition in Berlin. Together with our dear friend , we’re revisiting the composition and creating a new sonic narrative.

The Actualization series weaves tension between mind and space, revealing how meaning emerges and reality takes form through the patterns we choose to believe.

Drawing from the Aristotelian notion of potentiality and actuality, the series places these ideas in a contemporary context. It reflects on the moment when possibility becomes experience. The installation invites us to meditate on a simple motion, that is juxtaposed by sounds and recordings that narrate impossible, almost fictional events. In a sense, there is nothing more real than matter moving in front of us.

Futurism in motion. What we see has no function other than allowing us to imagine the impossible.

Thanks & for the invitation to bring this work back to life.

Proximare (Latin): to come or draw near, to approach, be near

A system caught in a continuous cycle of approach and separation. Drawn together, held apart, orbiting each other without collision.

Light sources fall and climb in altitude, circling around the balcony. The sources in both rings affect each other. Sometimes they attract, sometimes they repel. Relative distance is their common language, creating a sonic narrative of endless approach.

Proximare premiered at Mapping Festival () in Genève and is on view at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire ()until May 28.

For Milan Design Week, .world curated an exhibition and talks program at exploring how contemporary architectural design shapes live experiences, featuring our stage designs for Draaimolen Festival: Aura (2024) and The Tunnel (2023). Both stages emerged from our artistic research project Entropy.

Entropy is an analogue particle simulator exploring transformation and movement in space. The 4-meter transparent structures contain a system that converts liquid into gas, creating formations that resemble clouds and climate systems. Through Entropy, we challenge perceptions of order and control through the aesthetics of disorder, while reflecting on our desire to create systems, rituals and spaces that resist them, even if only temporarily.

That same tension exists within festivals themselves: temporary architectures built for collective moments, only to disappear again.

We’re grateful to see our work included in this dialogue and we can’t wait to share our plans for this year’s edition of .
