DARK MATTER - A multidimensional parallel world of light, space and sound. 

DARK MATTER is a parallel cosmos of expansive light installations in which the boundaries between the real and the digital world become blurred. Within the pitch-black rooms of a converted factory, the visitor embarks on a journey through seven partly interactive works. Light, movement and sound fuse into emotional choreographies of luminous shapes and colors.

Built across 1,000 sqm of exhibition space, DARK MATTER presents a range of multimedia artworks. 

These vary from stunning intimate light compositions to interactive walk-through structures and immersive audio-visual performances. Some works are supported by a world-first 3D sound system. Each room has a distinct atmosphere that unfolds on entry, creating a holistic and unique experience that can be enjoyed by visitors of all ages and backgrounds.

DARK MATTER exhibition

Behind this unique experience is light artist Christopher Bauder and his art studio WHITEvoid.

Collectively the team’s extensive portfolio includes the prolific installations DEEP WEB and SKALAR at Kraftwerk Berlin. In 2014, Bauder and WHITEvoid were also responsible for LICHTGRENZE, in which they imagined of and produced 8,000 luminescent balloons to mark the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

DARK MATTER becomes a place of forward-looking experiments. 

In cooperation with other innovative technology partners, DARK MATTER will operate as a space for continued experimentation. Fifteen years of technical innovation and creative vision will come together in this collection of unique light installations, some of which have never been displayed to the public before.
