Bucharest has these beautiful forgotten treasures - its old art fountains. Statues ennobled with water. There were all erected in the inter-war years, and their design evokes a forgotten life style and passed aesthetics.
Aural Eye wants to reveal them once again with the help of light. Using projectors, the crew will not only video map the fountains, but create original content to cover the fountains with. The pedestrian’s eye will be exposed to a cross between century old monument design and contemporary light design.
For two hours every night the beauty of these classical fountains will be alive again. Replacing water (as most of them don’t work!) with video art will act like a revelator on them. And, hopefully, after these nights, the fountains will be once again part of our Bucharest life and receive more care and appreciation. We’ll make these forgotten fountains the beauty springs they used to be.

We are a new-born collective of ingenious minds brought together by the love for video projections.
Aural Eye coagulated in order to handle the more and more complex projects and beautify even more things and places using light. Using their special talents, the team (Alina Anca, Răzvan Pascu, Mihai Militaru) build installations of light from concept to… the ON switch.
Their guiding philosophy is that every sense has its rhythm. So is the sight, which deserves harmonious music made especially for the eye.
