Synergy 2.0. - Light Trail

During the Winter Lights Festival, the art collective Mercury Maze Studio—comprised of Owen Hindley, Katerina Blahutova, and Þorsteinn Eyfjörð—welcomes visitors to a guided experience of their work Synergy 2.0.

The piece is an interactive video, light, and sound installation projected onto Hnitbjörg, the building that houses the Einar Jónsson Museum. In this multilayered work, audiences can explore the building’s architecture and the surrounding acoustics through a transformation of matter and spirit.

In direct interaction with the artwork, viewers activate a connection between the physical and the metaphysical, traveling through the building via digital mapping technology. Architectural structures come to life as walls appear to rotate and the indoor sculptures spring into motion.

The work is located in the garden of the Einar Jónsson Museum.
