Nimbus is a new artwork created by Visual System to mark the twentieth anniversary of the Atomium’s renovation. It extends the unique dialogue the collective has been cultivating for several years with this iconic architectural landmark and with its audiences from all over the world. The work plays with and disrupts geometry: the monument’s original tubes are reconfigured into gigantic columns that give rise to a living, inhabited space, while the building’s characteristic mirrored spheres multiply across the surfaces, unsettling spatial and temporal references. Nimbus shapes a suspended environment in which light and sound, carried by an original musical composition by Thomas Vaquié, form a vibrating halo, a protective sphere. The audience engages in dialogue with an evolving artwork, creating a singular, plural and universal experience through movement and individual sensibility. In this way, Nimbus celebrates the architecture of the Atomium, revealing a monument in perpetual transformation, where diversity, contemplation and the collective imagination converge.

Supply Chain combines mirrors, mobile LED screens, light beams and sound installations to create a choreography of light and reflections. The artwork is composed of hybrid modules installed on structures derived from industrial assembly tables, and is complemented by LED tubes, a central luminous circle and graphic matrices. It transforms the space while evoking the production and supply chains that underpin contemporary technologies. Through this poetic and dynamic staging, the work reveals the connections between material, industry and the digital realm, inviting audiences to experience an immediate sensory immersion while questioning the invisible infrastructures that shape our technological societies.

ROTONDE is a permanent light and sound installation situated around the lower dome of the Atomium. A circular structure of LED lines follows the architecture of the rotunda, while a down-lighting system projects vertical beams toward the ground, structuring the space in a full 360-degree experience. The installation unfolds in a cycle of approximately twenty minutes. Light movements, vertical descents and variations in intensity are fully synchronized with an original sound composition, composed of subtle rhythms, spatial textures and finely crafted transitions. Certain sequences are deliberately minimal, almost motionless; others introduce greater movement and contrast. The programming is designed to evolve calmly throughout the evening, establishing a continuous and lasting presence. The project is conceived as a spatial composition, developed specifically for this part of the Atomium and for the visitors’ journey. Light structures the space, highlights the building’s lines and amplifies its nighttime presence, offering a new way of experiencing the architecture through movement and rhythm. The installation is designed to accompany the life of the Atomium every evening. It gives the monument a nocturnal identity, presenting it as a place that remains active, visible and inhabited after dark. It forms part of a broader ambition to animate architectural heritage through contemporary digital creation. Designed for a minimum duration of twelve months, the installation offers a contemporary interpretation of the Atomium while placing its architecture at the very center of the experience.
