RADIX and LUMINOUS OBJECTS at Factory Light Festival in Slemmestad, Norway, November 2024: two XENORAMA works with very different bodies in one repurposed building.

For the festival, a temporary community centre was turned into an exhibition venue. XENORAMA showed there alongside HC Gilje, High Files Visuals, ABDX and Studio Otaika (XENORAMA's report).

The two works make light in opposite ways. RADIX is a single large wooden root: its shape was captured by 3D scanning and extended with 3D-printed polygon elements, and projection and sound play on that form, pulling it from an organic shape toward a technical one. LUMINOUS OBJECTS works at a small scale, with three-dimensional forms placed on self-luminous surfaces, treating the screen itself as a sculptural art object.
