RADIATIONS ⧗⧗⧗ Light Art Exhibition @ INOTA Festival 2023
Local and international light artists from 6 countries, 13 compositions and space-specific installations: the first INOTA Festival, featuring a long line of contemporary electronic musicians, will not only fire up the nervous system through the ears, but also through the most receptive sensory organs of the human body, the eye: spectacular light art on such a large scale and in such an industrial complex has never been seen in Hungary before.
Schedule
The installations by Italian, Spanish, Austrian, French, Finnish and Hungarian artists take us on a visual trip that is not without techno-cultural references, in which various human-machine interactions are experienced and our attention and senses are sharpened through the rippling rays of analogue and digital effects. Appearances and disappearances, slow and fast movements, abstract light patterns and reflective surfaces re-activate vision.
Experiencing the dreamlike and circular repetition of time transforms visitors from passive observers into active recipients as they tour the exhibition's various stations.
The installations will be open to the public throughout the entire duration of the festival with a day ticket or pass. Some installations are open for a limited period.

INOTA POWER PLANT
The Inota thermal power plant was the largest industrial investment in Hungary in the 1950s, and at its peak, it could have provided street lighting and tram traffic for the whole of Budapest. Its three huge, illustrious cooling towers are not only familiar to anyone who drives to Lake Balaton from the capital, but it is also worth knowing that their novel water-cooled technology was a revolutionary innovation at the time, winning engineers László Heller and László Forgó the Grand Prix at the 1958 Brussels World Exhibition. It was thanks to Inota that these horn-shaped cooling towers soon became widespread throughout the world.
