Atomium lights up with digital art
For almost an entire year, visitors to the Atomium can feast their eyes on CROSSING, a new digital artwork.
This piece by the Visual System collective “explores the synergies between art and technology” and takes up one of the Atomium’s nine balls for this very purpose.
The collective promises “a unique visual and auditory journey” and has included original music by Thomas Vaquié, a Brussels-based musician and composer, to enhance this experience.
This is the ninth collaboration between the Atomium and Visual System, with their first installation dating back to 2013.
For more information on the exhibition, check out the Atomium’s website.
Did you know that the Atomium, which is shaped like an iron crystal, was conceived as the centrepiece for the 1958 world’s fair in Brussels? Have you been there before? Let us know.
