Nocturne Art Trail

Lookback at Nocturne: David Stout 🌙✨

Here, we spotlight work by artist David Stout, presented at Nocturne 2026 on May 8 & 9!

Stout’s project ‘The Henotic Timepiece’ explores the unity between nature, science, audio-visual poetics and technological magic. The installation took natural elements, such as wind, air, fire, plant life and celestial bodies, to create a unique, infinitely-looping, cycle; charting infinity.
