Bolander & Co
More information to come!
Machines is a French art and design studio working at the crossroads of light art, interactive technology, and spatial design. Their work explores how we relate to our surroundings – not just through what we see, but through what we experience together with others. Using sensors and programmed light, they create installations that respond to the viewer’s presence – often in ways so subtle they’re barely noticeable. Far Away is a clear expression of that vision. The piece doesn’t shine to be seen – it shines because you’re approaching. A wordless conversation. A poetic gesture in the dark, where technology steps back – and human presence takes centre stage.
Bolander & Co embodies trust and reassurance – values that become especially visible in the light installation Far Away. The piece only lights up when someone approaches, serving as a reminder that true security doesn’t arise from a distance, but in the connection between people.
