City of Brussels and Brussels Major Events commissioned artists Romain Tardy, Ofer Smilansky and Antoine Goldschmidt to create this monumental and surrealistic project called : GALAXY EXPRESS.
After hours of drilling, painting, mounting, wiring and programming, this 25 meters long and 40 tons big boys toy was conveyed and placed on iconic Place de l'Europe in front of the Brussels Central Station.
GALAXY EXPRESS is a monumental audiovisual installation, featuring an iconic M4 type locomotive revisited by digital artists Romain Tardy, Antoine Goldschmidt and Ofer Smilansky. The trio imagined a vessel at the crossroads of retrofuturist influences, and the contemporary Japanese dekotora scene which consists of the extreme customization of trucks into hybrid and phantasmagorical vehicles.
Beyond its monumental and sculptural aspect, Galaxy Express is above all an unprecedented light and sound experience composed in multi-channels, which is activated as soon as night falls. The musical universe itself is an exploration combining cosmic sound atmospheres and terrestrial electronic music, a real dynamic dialogue with the light programming.
This project was carried out specifically for the 2021 edition of Plaisirs d’Hiver with the support of the SNCB/NMBS and @trainworld6733
