The Kosmograf is a prominent feature in the Humboldt Forum’s foyer. In addition to displaying practical announcements about exhibitions and events held at the venue, it serves as a 360° screen for media art. BOKEH will be on display during the Long Night of Museums.
This interactive artwork combines art and technology into a fascinating visual experience. Through audio inputs and digital algorithms, a dynamic particle system is created that reacts to its surroundings and constantly generates new colors and shapes. In this way, the Kosmograf becomes a transformative experience that can be adapted to different formats and atmospheres.
