Wien leuchtet
KHM & NHM Vienna
In an interplay of light, sound, video and slide projection, visitors of the light festival “Wien leuchtet" in 2015 and 2016 were able to immerse themselves into a special atmosphere over three evenings. While the Natural History Museum was presented with alternating slide projections for the first time in 2016, the Kunsthistorisches Museum has been staged using 3D video mapping. Large-scale images on the floor as well as projections and sound collages on the four Tritons and Naiads fountains merged the ambience with the visitors into a comprehensive work of art.

Natural History Museum
As part of the Vienna Festival of Lights, the Natural History Museum on Maria-Theresien-Platz was immersed in changing static panorama projections. The specially created artistic image collages were projected onto the 170m long facade using 8 Pani high-performance slide projectors. The motifs were based on exhibits from the museum.
Names of this World
The figures of the tritons and naiad fountains represent the sea world. The fountain showed a sea of colourful names that constitute the unity of mankind. "Names of this World" shined as a hopeful message for the future.
The Sea
As part of the Vienna Festival of Lights, the Triton and Najad fountain created by Edmund Hofmann of Aspernburg was selected to project Jules Michelet's poem “The Sea” in the form of the Morse alphabet. The projection was supplemented by an acoustic translation of the poem into Morse signals.
