Organised by The NODE Institute and supported by Derivative, the Creative Roundtable returns to Leipzig for the 2025 edition of Bright Festival Connect — an international collaboration that celebrates creativity as a bridge between cultures and countries.

This year, we look forward to three inspiring talks exploring the intersection of art, technology, and space, and to connecting with both the international and local experience design community for an evening of inspiration, exchange, and networking among friendly creatives.

With the Eisengiesserei at Westwerk, Bright has chosen the perfect venue for this gathering — a space that welcomes all who are passionate about visual programming, interactive installations, and immersive performances.

17:30 UHR / 5:30 PM / Jacob Lommatzsch

Jacob Lommatzsch, a Leipzig-based lighting and sound technician with a Media Technology degree from HTWK Leipzig, presents his bachelor’s project: an immersive, interactive 360° installation created with support from Kunstkraftwerk Leipzig. The work invited audiences to “reach for the stars” through spatial sound and dynamic visuals. In his talk, Jacob will outline the software and hardware setup, discuss the technical and creative challenges he faced, and share the most valuable lessons from the process.

AUSGANG studio, led by Alex and Radovan, creates immersive audiovisual works exploring the interplay between digital and physical realities. Their practice reflects on technological progress, environmental processes, and the duality of reality and virtuality, shaping experiences where time and space are influenced by the strongest medium—digital. By merging these elements, they transform installation spaces into surprising, contemplative environments, inviting visitors to engage with both the physical and digital layers of their work, and to experience a seamless dialogue between presence and perception.
