FESTIVALS OF LIGHT [spotlight] A selection of Festivals of Light from around the world.


WINTER MAGIC, AMSTERDAM As a cultural festival of light and water, Winter Magic puts the city of Amsterdam in the spotlight during the winter nights. Every night the buildings on the Amstel river were specially lit, making a boulevard of lights. Light art objects were made by internation- ally acclaimed and young artists. Other events included the Christmas Canal Parade, light projections and concerts at candle light. The Skinny Bridge (Magere Brug) was lit by students of the Lighting course at the Amsterdam University under the tutelage lighting designer Rogier van der Heide.


FETE DES LUMIERES, LYON Christie’s digital projection systems were on hand at four prominent sites at Lyon’s Fête des Lumières through its partnerships with technical service providers. The Palais de la Bourse was turned into a giant reflector, il- luminating and reflecting the work of light- ing professionals out over the celebrating city. Over at the Chapelle de l’Hôtel Dieu, E/T/C used two 3-chip DLP Christie Road- ster HD18K units to project a 15-minute loop of selected works by young artists from French art schools entitled Images Labo onto the façade of the chapel. Faites des Lumières allowed members of the public to get involved, personally creating their own light show on the front of the Gare Saint- Paul (pictured).
