The Atomium invites the artist collective Visual System to occupy its exhibition spaces and dedicates its program to digital art. For this new edition, Visual System designing CROSSING, a digital and symphonic work in which art and technology are combined to create a unique sensory experience. With CROSSING, Visual System continues its exploration of the synergies between art and technology by taking over the whole of one of the nine spheres. Connecting its two levels with an organic structure, the installation ventures beyond the sphere, into the staircase and escalator leading up to it. Like a living organism that seems to emerge and flourish, it invites the public to take part in an original visual and sound journey. Original music by Thomas Vaquié accompanies the emotions of the visitors, who become the protagonists of their own experience.
