My days in IBSIC conference and Video Mapping Festival in Lille started with immersive video art at L'Hybride. Here's Julia Shamsheieva's delighfully dadaistic and pink part of the evening's program.

An abstract explosion of soft, prismatic hues dances across a textured surface, creating a dreamy and ethereal landscape of light and reflection.

There are even smaller light art pieces than what we see in Thesmallest festival. Some of them have been displayed at Gallery 1:10 - Mood Board,
a project by artist Anna Lidberg. It is a miniature gallery with miniature artworks from different artists, some of them using light.

As seen at the ever-lovely and totally redommended Arvika Ljus! festival in 2024. https://arvikaljus.se/en/arvika-ljus-2024/

A memory of last year's Island of Light festival in Smögen, where the audience really lived the festival lyfe.

Pipilotti Rist's Selbstlos im Lavabad is a milestone in the history of tiny art. I still can remember my bafflement reading the artwork info on the wall in MoMa PS1, but seeing the artwork nowhere. Until I realised I was standing on it.

I know François Morellet's pieces, where ultra-straight neon tubes hang mid-air like ballerinas frozen in their jump, and Creation n° 6 surprised me with its free flowing doodle-likeness. I kind of felt this piece winking at me, and found myself smiling.

As seen in the Brilliant Works exhibition at Museum Ritter.

Miriam Prantl's Led-relief Square is a fine example of minimalism overwhelming the The Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection: simple at first sight, unfolding with some time spent with it. The Collection, based on what I saw at the Brilliant Works exhibition, is also lacking artworks with flashy colours for flashy colours' sake. Much appreciated.
