The opening work is Synergy 2.0 by Mercury Maze Studio, an artist collective made up of Owen Hindley, Katerina Blahutova and Þorsteinn Eyfjörð. It is an interactive video, light and sound piece projected onto Hnitbjörg, the Einar Jónsson Museum building.
Ljóslifandi is more of an experience than an object or outdoor sculpture. The work invites visitors to enter a space — a world that blends materials and light. Part walkway, part resonance chamber, where light itself guides the journey. Ver
Ljósmót is a work by artist Örn Ingólfsson.
