The members of the Kiégő Izzók (“Glowing Bulbs”) visual group grew up around the time of the turn of the Millenium, with the collective evolving from the vibrant underground techno scene of the Budapest of that time. Over years the group has become an important part of the Hungarian visual scene, employing diverse techniques and media to create complex and coherent works.
Treating light as a tool we fill spaces and surfaces with content. We use projected images (moving images combined with stills) to create virtual environments and fields of free association. Viewers are given the space to freely interpret these situations and explore their own individual narratives. In our installations the projections are more than visual elements per se. The key feature is the bringing to life of an entire environment. This is achieved by closely examining and reacting to the various elements of the event, such as music, space and theme, and combining these parameters, in doing so allowing them to interfere and interact with one other.
In the past years we did numerous panoramic projections, live VJ performances, music videos and short films as well as installations at festivals, in galleries and museums in Hungary in the USA (NYC) and across European (Spain, France, Belgium, Germany, Poland, Austria, Slovakia and Slovenia) and Asia.
