Nico Neefs & Colas Fiszman – Collective Synesthesia, 2024

• Buda Bxl, Budasesteenweg 96, Brussels

Located at the exact border of two cities and two regions, the location Buda Bxl stands as a vibrant hub where visual, sonic, and choreographic arts converge. Formerly an industrial factory, it has transformed into a thriving community space, hosting concerts, raves, performances, residencies and exhibitions. Buda Bxl is now a cornerstone of Belgium’s nightlife scene. In this setting, visual artists Colas Fiszman (BE, 1979) and Nico Neefs (BE, 1987), resident of Buda Bxl, present Collective Synesthesia, a collaborative monumental light installation. Comprising over 16,000 light points, the piece transforms Buda Bxl’s facade into a sprawling canvas of light and colour. Inspired by the idea of creating an organic and shared experience, the installation becomes a dynamic platform for experimentation, fostering collective exploration of light and digital technologies. By blurring the border between localities, it fosters connections and collaboration. In 2024, the artists will launch a series of workshops, inviting international artists and experts to facilitate exchanges among artists from diverse backgrounds and to introduce participants to cutting-edge digital art technologies.
