VOLUME UNIT THE MEDIA WORKSHOP
This interactive projection transformed the exterior of one of Durham’s least loved buildings, Milburngate House, into a visual jukebox. The animation pulsed and ‘danced’ to amplified music broadcast through a sound system at the request of audience members. Live video DJing pro- jections and music, selected by audience members, brought the building to life with a variety of sound responsive images and graphics. Audiences were invited to add their favourite feel-good song to the installation’s playlist by tweeting using the Volume Unit hashtag.
SOLAR EQUATION RAFAEL LOZANO-HEMMER
This incredible installation was commis- sioned by Federation Square for Light in Winter, in Melbourne, and features the world’s largest spherical helium balloon, custom-made for the project. For Lumiere it was tethered over Durham Universi- ty’s Science Site and animated using ten projectors.
The solar animation on the balloon is generated by live mathematical equations that simulate the turbulence, flares and sunspots that can be seen on the surface of the sun. This produces a constantly changing display that never repeats itself, giving viewers a glimpse of the majestic phenomena that are observable on the so- lar surface, and that only relatively recent advances in astronomy have discovered.

Lumiere worked with partners to deliver outreach projects in local schools and the community in the lead-up to the event. More than 600 schoolchildren across County Durham took part in workshops about Litre of Light, the campaign bringing alternative light sources to people in parts of the world where electricity is either too expensive or not available at all.
Around 200 people attended the Durham University public science event about the eye in art and science. Artist Gina Czarnecki, together with some of the University’s leading academics, presented a series of talks that explained in simple terms how the human eye works, its evolu- tion and impact on perception, and the way
artists and scientists had worked together on the project.
As part of its outreach to the wider com- munity, Lumiere worked with offenders in Durham’s three prisons and a youth remand centre. Over 100 prisoners and their fami- lies created artworks, which were displayed together to form a huge illuminated wall in the Galilee Chapel inside Durham Cathe- dral. The artworks have now been returned to be exhibited inside the institutions, following Lumiere. “We are delighted with the success of this third edition of Lumiere. It’s been wonderful to see how much everyone has enjoyed it this year. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” commented Helen Marriage, Lumiere’s Artistic Director. “We made many improvements to the way
the festival has been organised this year, to ensure visitors had an unforgettable experience that was comfortable as well as enjoyable.”
Councillor Simon Henig, Leader of Durham County Council, stated, “Lumiere 2013 has been breathtaking, thought provoking, entertaining and an overwhelming success for tens of thousands of festival-goers and very many businesses. I confidently predict a very significant economic boost to the county linked to the opportunities delivered by this world class event. Just as impor- tant though is the immense sense of pride we can take in knowing we have worked together to showcase some of the very best we have to offer in County Durham.”
