Amsterdam Light Festival (3)

This "Lightscape" is an abstract depiction of an urban environment based on light and shadows in the city.

This abstract  city comes to life through the use of projections, lights and sounds and interactive elements.

Visitors can walk into the installation ans interact with the shadows and images. It was magical to watch the  changing colours and patterns.

And the last one "Floating Light" by Wouter Brave. The countless light bars floatin the dark space creating an abstract world of light. When walking through the bars they start to move and dance like an endless choreography.

  2. Oh, how I wish I was there in person to see it. What a neat experience to see it up close and personal....but a bit cold I am sure.

    1. Hi Genie, until 19 January you can see a lot of the large art works by boat, and until 5 January there's a lovely walking tour. See www.amsterdamlightfestival.com

  7. Dearest Marianne,
    Amsterdam has done quite a job in creating fabulous lights by different artists.
    That helps make the darkest season very enjoyable and fun.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  11. Over the 3 blogs you've written there are a lot of different styles - the lamp installation I particularly liked (do you think the artist has borrowed lamps from all his friends and relations - can he know that many people). There must be quite a lot of artists involved. Looks great.

    1. The lamps were borrowed from Amsterdammers... All lamps have been labelled so we can return them to their owners!
