#Berenerd IV, 2 de maig 2026.
El Berenerd -berenar nerd- és una trobada informal d’artesans de les comarques de Girona.
Un format aperiòdic, de presentacions curtes i lliure assistència, on tot tipus de creadors -músics, artistes, dissenyadors, tecnòlegs...- ens expliquen les seves recerques.
Un espai per compartir, conèixer nova gent, menjar, beure, fotre i no creure.
La trobada es fa a la Casa de les Bombetes, una antiga fàbrica de llumeneres reconvertida en taller d’artesania digital i espai per residències artístiques, situada al poble de la Pera, al Baix Empordà.

Project Spotlight | Liquid Tiles | Where light becomes architecture

Liquid Tiles by @playmodesstudio and @lightnetgmbh – a modular system of individually controlled, rotating light elements. Each networked, each programmable. Driven by generative algorithms, producing an almost infinite range of patterns, colours and behaviours across any surface it inhabits.

From object to urban landmark. Inherently scalable across public realm, transport, retail and cultural institutions.

At 8th Wonder, we collaborate with studios and collectives globally to bring ambitious, technology-led projects into the built environment. Actively scoping applications across Australia and internationally.

At 8th Wonder, we collaborate with studios and collectives globally to bring ambitious, technology-led projects into the built environment. Actively scoping applications across Australia and internationally.

As part of the series „Patterns of Liquid Tiles“, we are now moving on to part two, introducing the second behaviour of our Liquid Tiles installation, developed in collaboration with @playmodesstudio
This pattern offers another perspective on movement, rhythm, sound and light, yet it represents just one of many possibilities that Liquid Tiles can express. The system is designed to be highly adaptable, allowing for a wide range of visual interpretations and atmospheres.

Pattern 2: Spaghetti
1. Take a few boiled strands of spaghetti and throw them across the table.
2. Place a couple of mirrors and reflect the resulting composition.
3. Make the strands shine and cast light to the sides.
You will get the most delicious and radiant dish for your hypnotic dreams!🍝💭
This behaviour is driven by controlled, periodic randomisation of the arc angles. All elements shift simultaneously, yet the algorithm favours local continuity, encouraging the formation of long, meandering zigzag paths, the “spaghettis”. These strands weave across the canvas and, through mirroring, transform apparent randomness into a loose and playful symmetry.
A dreamy soundscape follows the stretching and realignment of these luminous lines, accompanying the slow cooking of this ever-changing geometric dish.

Enjoy and stay tuned as we continue to explore the versatility of Liquid Tiles.

You don’t watch this work.
You feel it.

@playmodesstudio is a Barcelona-based studio working across light and sound as a single system.

Their practice spans both fixed and generative works, where image and sound are produced together through code.

What you see here is a selection of their work.

One of their installations will be presented as part of Brixen @waterlightfestival
29 April – 16 May 2026

More information: https://www.brixen.org/waterlight/en/

This video takes you behind the scenes of Liquid Tiles, the kinetic audiovisual light installation developed by @playmodesstudio in collaboration with Lightnet.

It follows the project from the first conceptual sketches through to its final realization, showing how artistic vision and engineering precision come together in a continuous process of experimentation and refinement. Light, motion, and sound are actively shaped through custom software and precisely engineered hardware, generating ever-changing, organic patterns in real time.

The result is a dynamic, collaborative journey that dissolves the boundaries between digital and physical, mechanical and living, bringing the installation itself to life.

Liquid Tiles from a different perspective.

In between each behaviour we do have a transition and usually they don't show up on the videos, so here this video is here to basically show the transitions of our narrative.

The transitions work with a matte texture that transitions from one behaviour to the next, mixing colors and angles.

Liquid Tiles is a kinetic audiovisual canvas conceived as a modular system of 126 computer-controlled rotating light fixtures arranged in a triangular matrix. Each fixture is a curved 60-degree segment which, through its geometric disposition, forms a continuous connective tessellation known as Truchet tiling, named after the 18th-century mathematician Sébastien Truchet. This structure enables local interactions between elements to propagate across the surface, generating larger, evolving visual patterns.

At its core, Liquid Tiles explores the emergence of organic behavior from mechanical and digital systems. Although driven by robotics and custom software, the installation reveals a sense of vitality arising from simple rule-based processes. Generative algorithms define constraints for movement, geometry, color, and sound, within which the system continuously recomposes itself. The result is a stream of ever-evolving light and sound configurations that behave like a quasi-living organism, blurring distinctions between physical and digital, programmed and organic.

The artwork is the outcome of a close collaboration between @lightnetgmbh , a German lighting manufacturer, and @playmodesstudio , a Catalan audiovisual art studio, for Lightnet’s booth at @lightbuildingfrankfurt . All firmware, software, and generative systems were developed specifically by the artists for this installation, while the hardware components were researched, engineered, and manufactured in-house by Lightnet through a shared design process inspired by the Liquid Line product ensemble. Liquid Tiles stands as a living example of how collaboration between industry and the arts can open new perspectives on industrial innovation, contemporary lighting design, and digital art practice.

Meet the brilliant minds behind Liquid Tiles!

Kamil, engineer at Lightnet and part of the Research and Development team, worked together with his fellow Lightnet engineers to develop the Liquid Tiles hardware. He joined forces with Eloi and Santi from Playmodes, who were responsible for the software and programming, combining expertise in engineering, design, and interactive technology to bring the installation to life. Their collaboration has pushed the boundaries of innovation, creating a dynamic experience that merges cutting-edge hardware with playful interactivity.

Adding the finishing touch, Stefan Hofmann, lighting designer from Lichtwerke, crafted the booth concept, designing a space that showcases Liquid Tiles in the most immersive and engaging way. From concept to execution, the team has worked tirelessly to ensure every detail reflects both creativity and technical excellence.

Don’t miss your chance to experience Liquid Tiles in person! Visit the Lightnet Booth at Light + Building, Hall 3.1, Stand D40 today and tomorrow. See and interact with this innovative installation and discover how technology, art and design come together in a truly unique way.

A new journey is beginning.
Light, code, and space merge into forms that are constantly evolving.

Lightnet × Playmodes

Playmodes is an audiovisual art duo from Barcelona, founded by Eloi Maduell and Santi Vilanova. They work at the intersection of light, sound, space, and technology, understanding light and sound as a single, tightly interconnected language - visual music.

Lightnet designs and produces professional architectural lighting, shaping spaces through precision, technology, and design.

Together, we’ve started a collaboration exploring how light and code can merge into new spatial experiences.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll be sharing fragments, thoughts, and glimpses of what’s evolving behind the scenes.

For the full experience, visit us at:
