At the crossroads of art and science, Carsten Höller's light installations stem less from artistic research than from aesthetic experimentation. Born in Brussels in 1961, the German artist, who lives in Stockholm, trained as an entomologist before dedicating himself to what has been called "relational aesthetics." The MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology) exhibition, which brings together his light works from 1988 to the present, offers the opportunity to experience his Roaming Beds by renting them for the modest sum of €200. At the end of the night, the floor will bear the imprint of the nocturnal wanderings of sleepers randomly rocked by the robotic beds—multiple imprints which, accumulating over time, will form a gigantic labyrinth of lines: does it always come back to drawing?

Note: a program of meditations at 7,8 Hz (frequency of brain waves in a relaxed and dreamy state) is organized throughout the duration of the exhibition.
