Talking Heads
The two spectacular heads, created by Hungarian light artist and Limelight Co-Founder Viktor Vicsek, show countless emotions and react to each other. Unlike people, these Talking Heads don’t do it by means of muscles, but through all the possibilities of light. Per head some 4,000 individually controllable LEDs provide different facial expressions in various colors. As they are connected by Wi-Fi, they react to each other, but also to the interference of visitors.
They conduct conversations by means of light. As human beings we are capable of numerous facial expressions by the use of several dozens of muscles. It enables us to show all kinds of emotions to someone else, hoping that the other will understand us and react adequately. When you look sad, I am inclined to comfort you. When I laugh, I invite you to join me in laughing. Communicating without using words. Talking Heads is part of the Light Art Collection of Amsterdam Light Festival.
