Luz 5D
Immersive environments, live visuals and spatial design connecting light, architecture, technology and human perception.
Art that breathes. Space that reacts. Technology that feels human.
About Luz 5D
Luz 5D is an immersive art and spatial design studio led by Vinícius Luz, operating at the intersection of parametric architecture, live audiovisual performance, neurotechnology (EEG/OSC), AI-driven imagery and analog AV experimentation. The studio creates installations, clubs, domes and large-format projections across festivals, cultural institutions and cities worldwide.
Light-based sculptures, elemental experiences and responsive spaces where water, fire and geometry become narrative.
Bio-inspired architecture, stage structures and venue systems designed from the ground up for mapping, lighting and sound.
EEG and AI-based visual systems that translate mental states and datasets into living audiovisual environments.
Immersive Installations
Large-scale artworks and intimate environments where light, water, sound and human presence converge into ritual-like experiences.
A live installation where participants’ intentions are symbolically embedded into water and unfolded as sculptural light, exploring memory, transformation and collective presence on the Playa.
A stroboscopic chamber that makes flowing water appear frozen or moving backwards in time, provoking a deep shift in the perception of gravity, flow and continuity.
Early contributions to large-scale interactive works on the Playa, weaving Brazilian culture, sound and light into landmark pieces.
Architecture as Living Interface
Architecture is treated as a responsive organism, where geometry, light and human experience are composed as one system.
House of the Future
A biomimetic residential concept inspired by the structure and behavior of water molecules. The design is based around water capture, storage and circulation, with greenhouse roofs and fluid spatial organization so that sustainability becomes a daily ritual instead of a technical layer.
Immersive Rooms
360° projection rooms, sound-reactive walls and sensory chambers developed for museums and cultural spaces. Recent work includes Mundo de Leonardo da Vinci, where Luz 5D developed a living digital interpretation of La Città Ideale, transforming the drawing into an explorable, evolving city of light.
Taberna Maresias
A Viking-futuristic venue for music, food and art designed and built by Luz in Maresias. The project translates Burning Man installation language into permanent architecture—wood, steel, fire, sacred geometry and immersive lighting woven into a castle-like cultural space.
Transforming Architecture into Image
Multi-projector, laser-integrated and LED-hybrid mapping systems turning façades, domes and interior architectures into expressive, narrative canvases.
Luz 5D designs mapping that responds to geometry, dramaturgy and sound. Systems often combine projection, LED topology, laser integration and spatial sound to compose deeply immersive environments.
• VENERA – 8K parametric laser-integrated mapping for Copenhagen Planetarium.
• BARRIERA 1.0 & 2.0 – laser + video mapping performances in Copenhagen at
Frigjort Festival, produced with Pleasure Control collective, combining Unreal, Patch Designer
and live laser modulation.
• Record-scale deployment using WATCHOUT server clusters in 80K resolution,
in partnership with LG, for one of the largest immersive video canvases ever executed.
