Sea
of Light is part of the international
project Spectrum dealing with lighting
interactions in public space. Workshops for
kids older than 9 years will be held in
Estonia, Latvia, Portugal and Slovenia,
aiming at artistic creativity, acquaintance
with interactive artistic platforms,
introduction to concepts and artistic
methods of new lighting systems.
Participants will create two- or three-dimensional
mapping animations, which will
result in four original video projections.
Architecture will be used as a
starting point. Artists - mentors of the
workshops – will make reproductions of four
selected buildings: in Ljubljana it will be
the building of the City Museum.
Participants will draw, paint, design,
arrange the façade, and they will sing and
narrate. The creative process will be
documented by a camera, and the video
material will be edited and then screened
onto the selected building. In September,
all the results will be presented at the
Caiscas festival in Portugal, and the
results of the Ljubljana workshops will also
be presented in Ljubljana.
The workshops are led by the Ocubo group whose
members specialise in multi-media and
interactive art projects. We already know
them from two past editions of Lighting
Guerrilla; the core members Nuno Maya and
Carole Purnelle created Human
Tiles (2010) and Gravitational
Painting (2012), both presented on the
façade of Cankarjev Dom. As individuals or
within the Ocubo group they regularly
participate at international cultural and
art events. They are founders of the Lumina
lighting festival which attracted some
100.000 visitors to the town of Sintra in
Portugal.
