This edition moves from seated, cinematic performances to a one-of-a-kind, dance-oriented audiovisual club show. An annual highlight that captures Lumus Instruments at its very best.

Contrarium

Contrarium is a live audiovisual show concept at the intersection of club culture, installation and performance art. Using a custom real-time system built in TouchDesigner, it creates an emergent ecosystem in which light and sound continuously influence and respond to one another.

Previous Contrarium shows took place at venues like Lofi (2020, 2025), Paradigm (2022, 2023), and Monopol Berlin (2024), featuring artists such as JakoJako, Colin Benders, Mary Lake, Jochem Paap, Nadia Struiwigh, Polygonia, Interstellar Funk, Boris Acket, Max Frimout, Maarten Vos, Albert van Abbe, Enequist and Portrait XO. 

Lumus Instruments is a multidisciplinary studio that experiments with the physical manifestation of computational technology. The studio is directed by Timo Lejeune and Julius Oosting, who are both driven by the process of making and the search for synergetic design principles.   

With the notion of “experience as the ultimate reality”, they artificially craft experiences that give rise to a sense of timelessness and radical realism. This results in installations that create a sense of future through the experience of now.

  LOFI

Contrarium takes place at Lofi: An old GVB bus garage transformed into a club. Lofi was created with the aim of breathing new life into Amsterdam’s free-spirited (night) culture. From indoor warehouse raves to intimate community gatherings on our courtyard.

Address: Basisweg 63, Amsterdam. You can find more info about Lofi here.
