SKALAR

SKALAR (2021) is a large-scale art installation, conceived by Christopher Bauder with Kangding Ray, that explores the complex impact of light and sound on human perception, a reflection on the fundamental nature and essence of human emotions. By combining a vast array of kinetic mirrors and perfectly synchronized moving lights with a sophisticated multi-channel sound system, it offers an audio-visual narration of radiant light vector drawings and multi-dimensional sound. Visitors are encouraged to walk around, sit or lie down on the floor and drift as far away as possible from everyday life and the outside world. SKALAR has already been visited by more than 200,000 people in Amsterdam, Berlin, Mexico City and Zurich. A customized version of the installation has been made for Noor Riyadh 2021.
