Evolving Spark Network Exhibition
March 5, 20:00 -- 02:00 and 8 -- 13, 14:00 -- 18:00
V2_, Eendrachtsstraat 10

'Evolving Spark Network' by Edwin van der Heide is installed for one 
week in V2_'s exhibition space. Come and visit us during the Rotterdam 
Museum Night or in the following week. An electric spark is the most 
elementary way of creating light and produces the briefest audible 
sound. Edwin van der Heide took inspiration from these facts in 
developing this spectacular installation, in which sparks fly back and 
forth 15 feet above the audience's heads, flashing and crackling.

V2_'s Summer Sessions are brief themed residencies that allow promising 
young artists to collaborate with V2_Lab developers. We are looking for 
art projects that fit one of the Lab's three areas of focus: wearable 
technology, augmented reality or ecology. Each proposal should be 
conceptually sound and outline a concrete, realistic plan. Your plan 
must be submitted as a video.
