Trivial Matters II: LIGHT with an introduction by Carlo Volf

Experience a stunning artistic exploration of light, resonance and visual perception with three algorithm-based works by Austrian artist Rainer Kohlberger.

Still From 'Humming, Fast and Slow'

With their mathematical precision and overwhelming complexity, the three cinematic abstractions will draw the audience into a hypnotic and swirling stimulation that challenges the ear's ability to navigate and the eye's ability to focus.

The screening of the films will be introduced by the architect and researcher Carlo Volf, who will talk about solar architecture, heliophobia and the impact of light on human behavior. The event is part of the 'Trivial Matters' program, exploring the aesthetics, politics and metaphysics of architectural materials.

WHO SPEAKS FOR THE FUTURE? Architecture of intergenerational Democracy
Democracy has long relied on a quiet assumption: that decisions can be revisited, corrected, undone. That it will, eventually, be someone else’s turn. But what happens when decisions no longer remain reversible?
