Brussels-based artist Ofer Smilansky (1982) creates awe-inspiring audiovisual installations, visceral solo shows and keen light systems for stage.

Ofer loves synaesthesia. In his work, he utilizes the textures, colors and gestures of light, sound and movement as a whole to compose powerful pieces. Music, visuals, bodies and volumes influence each other and interact in an often disturbing tension leading to fantastic eruptions.

Ofer loves computers. His long-time practice of electronic music and experimental approach to digital creation make him a skilled and versatile artist that masters a variety of software and hardware.

Ofer loves drama. He strives to turn the often detached character of computer-based art into a vehicle for truly emotional experiences, both for the general public and for digital arts enthusiasts, depending on the nature of his work that ranges from soft to hard core. 

Ofer loves people. He collaborates with choreographers, musicians and other audiovisual artists towards a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

Space divided by three - Celestial sphere, sky and ground

Each of the three layers measures time at a different pace, creating a polyrhythmic composition. A layer represents a part in the sound spectrum: ground is throbbing corporal subs, sky is mindful data mids, celestial sphere is holistic ethereal highs. 

The spatial light composition dialogs with and accents the structural scenography. It allows drama to objects, amplifying their shape. 

One large source of light travels through the space marking the passage of time like the sun across the celestial sphere. A cluster of smaller lights occupies the sky forming a 3D topography, a contour of the structures below. Powerful wash lights hold the ground, eruptions of coloured light emerge from within the structures that surround us.
