Atomium - Square de l'Atomium 1020
ID – the initials stand for “Innovative Display” – is a series of original creations, presented in cyclical form, which plunge visitors into a dreamlike realm where all their senses are brought into play. In 2018, for its 6th edition, Visual System will be taking over the Atomium’s exhibitions sphere, where it will offer a new immersive event. This is the fruit of its many years of experience with collaborative son et lumière projects. Using sound and light, the Visual System collective likes to appropriate the vast structures that host their shows. Visitors can wander among their installations at their own pace, discovering their different aspects as they move in time and space. With its modular structure and layout, the Atomium may well be the very best venue for these peregrinations. To celebrate its 60th year, the installation A Circular Journey invites the public to (re) visit the building on a peaceful tour that celebrates both its humanistic statement and its examination of scientific progress, which is ever ongoing. Strolling through A Circular Journey, visitors explore an Atomium through a journey that links infinities, both big and small. From primordial turmoil and chaos, followed by the early beginnings of scientific study, to a clear understanding of the nature of matter and the structure of the universe, this is a journey towards observation and tranquillity.
