OPTIKA
A Day & Night of Digital Art + Electronic Music
Saturday 25 July 2026
3.00pm – 10.00pm
SWG3, Glasgow
OPTIKA is an original immersive artwork conceived, designed and produced by SUUM Studio.
The project explores how realtime technologies, electronic music, digital art and participatory design can create new forms of shared cultural experience.
Bringing together live electronic music, realtime visual systems and large-scale digital artworks, OPTIKA transforms SWG3's Galvanizers Yard into a living digital environment that evolves from daylight into night.
Throughout the day, performances are accompanied by immersive LED visuals, generative digital art, audience-responsive systems and augmented reality experiences that invite visitors to become active participants in the work.
Rather than simply watching a performance, audiences are invited to step inside a shared audiovisual world where sound, light, technology and human presence shape the experience together.
