International Network of Festivals of Light In the recent years “Festivals
of Light” emerged around the world spreading
interests, values and knowledge of the community of
expertise dedicated to light and lighting. The rising
number of events allocates that the reflected use of
light has become a visual seismograph of urban
qualities. In their divergent formats they are
focusing on lighting technologies and light-based
media technologies. Along with museums and galleries
they generate a public audience with their virtue to
touch and to teach qualities of light. As part of
cultural production they refer to time, space and
light as much as to form, content and means. Festivals
of light situate artistic positions in public
environment which can be read as proposals how to see
things and how to handle space. As a movement they
occur as a public forum of social encounter,
knowledge-transfer and public opinion-formation.
