AD LUMEN is a large-scale interactive installation in the Galerie der Romantik, the permanent exhibition at Pommersches Landesmuseum in Greifswald. Conceived and designed by ART+COM Studios, the work opens a contemporary encounter with Caspar David Friedrich’s view of nature and the sublime.
Visitors enter a chapel-like space shaped by moving image, light and music. Two movable LED screens form a shifting focal point, carrying abstract landscape projections from the region around Greifswald. The room acts as a quiet beginning into Friedrich’s poetic image world.
Sound deepens the installation’s atmospheric and emotional dimension. The adaptive multichannel composition follows the visual rhythm through slow-shifting harmonies, fragile textures and wide tonal spaces. Four musical ambiences unfold as a slow, minimal and naturalistic sequence, with a restrained spiritual quality related to Romantic choir composition.
Our contribution focused on music composition, sound production and mix for the chapel-like installation, mixed for a 6-channel audio system. In addition, we designed the sound for Raum des Nordens, an interactive room inviting visitors to explore themes of Romanticism through their own perspectives.
