About

Nane Neu is a light artist who experiments with the

interplay of light, space and movement. Her works include interactive installations in which she uses a wide variety of materials to redefine perception and atmosphere. With a background in applied mathematics and media art & design at the HBKsaar, she develops works that merge technology and art, immersing the visitor in an immersive visual experience.

Lux Keri is an interactive light art installation. It invites visitors to explore wondrous color worlds and influence the light of the hanging tubes. Visitors can also play a game in which the objective is to prevent a flickering fire from going out. Water tries to extinguish the fire on each tube, but if you are quick enough, you can keep the fire alive. The term "Lux Keri" is derived from the Latin word for "light" and the Greek word for "candle." The installation consists of recycled white HT tubes with LED strips attached to their centers. A sensor at the lower end of each tube enables interactivity. This is controlled by a programmed microcontroller.
