Spidertag’s INM#25: The Neon Language of Futurism Primitivism Lights Up Bayonne
As night descends on Bayonne for the Point de Vue Street Art Festival 2025, a 30×5 m wall awakens, pulsing with geometric precision and electric rhythm. This is INM#25, Spidertag’s latest chapter in his ongoing saga of Interactive Neon Murals, a glowing dialect he calls Futurism Primitivism.
Each line of light feels like a sentence in an evolving code, symbols reimagined through technology. In this work, Spidertag pushes beyond static muralism, blending flexible neon and LED to create a living, breathing canvas where light becomes language.

A Dialogue Between Light and the City
“Neon is my language,” Spidertag says, “a way to write in light.”
In Bayonne, this language finds a perfect stage. INM#25 transforms the façade into an urban constellation, responsive, rhythmic, alive. Viewers, armed with a simple app, can alter the neon’s choreography, shifting hues, rhythms, and intensity in real time. The public becomes co-creator, their gestures translated into glowing poetry.

Futurism Primitivism: The Paradox Illuminated
Since 2008, the Madrid-based artist has redefined public art through his innovative concept of Futurism Primitivism. Spidertag’s first Interactive Neon Mural was born in Portugal’s Estau Festival in 2018, followed by global landmarks… from Pow! Wow! Hawaii and Mural Festival Montreal to Life Is Beautiful Las Vegas, Bentonville (USA), Braga, and Norway.

Each mural is hand-created in collaboration with electricians and engineers, flexible neon tubes, LEDs, and wiring calibrated. By day, INM#25 rests as a quiet network of lines and symbols. By night, it transforms. Shadows surrender to luminescence; the wall hums and the city glows.

At dusk, he dons his trademark mask and glasses, part performance, part mythmaking, before igniting the walls into what he calls Neonmetry: the geometry of light.

As Spidertag says, “The night is the natural time for graffiti …and for neons.”
