On September 10th 2008, billions of particles were smashed together in nano-seconds to
recreate the first moments of the Big Bang, in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s
most powerful particle accelerator. Thousands of scientists worked for decades to achieve
this scientific spectacle “challenging those who seek confirmation of established knowledge,
and those who dare to dream beyond the paradigm”. Nina Czegledy and Marcus Neustetter
were so inspired by a lecture on the LHC that while they had already deliberated and tested
project ideas for several months, they immediately adopted a fresh approach, which led to The
Visual Collider.
For the first exhibited manifestation of The Visual Collider, Nina Czegledy and Marcus
Neustetter are presenting a small segment of their larger vision of an ongoing collision of
images and impressions that take place with each experience by both artists. In some sense,
the exhibition in Korcula becomes a sketch for a Visual Collider that, much like the LHC, can
produce data through reaction, some of which is measured and some of which we are not able
to comprehend or express.

Marcus Neustetter’s exhibition, in two minds in April 2008 at GALLERY AOP, was inspired by his experiences while ascending Mount Kilimanjaro in December 2006. He has subsequently undertaken various experiments to re-enact this experience, and to explore further his perceptions of ‘living between city lights and stars’. one moment is a presentation of photographs, digital traces, drawings and installations that attempt to reflect on the experience of climbing the volcano Mount Teide on Tenerife (Canary Islands) on 11th and 12th October 2009. Neustetter used the exhibition at GALLERY AOP as a moment of contemplation by ‘laying out’ his ideas and findings.

In collaboration with Bronwyn Lace.
Bringing in 2009’s International year of Astronomy together with the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, artists Bronwyn Lace and Marcus Neustetter
launched their project with experimental interventions during the night of New Year’s Eve 2008.
These interventions on the evening of 31st December were a precursor for the following two weeks of activities that resulted in a land-art and kite flying spectacle up to and on the 14th January 2009.
