Interactive lights installation comes to City Walk
Ten all-new artworks form part of the ongoing Dubai Lights festival and bring creative imagination to the premier mixed-use setting
Dubai is showcasing 10 unique interactive light installations designed to create an immersive artistic journey – combining lights and sounds – at City Walk. The light show is a new addition to the ongoing Dubai Shopping Festival.
In partnership with Light Art Collection and Merex Investment, the outdoor exhibition titled “The Sparks Within” celebrates the power, resilience, and positivity of light and sound as a symbol of connection between people and places.
Visitors and residents continue to enjoy the series of light installations around City Walk, such as the multifunctional work titled ‘C/C’ by Angela Chong, and interactive sculpture that plays around with light while also functioning as a very practical place for the public to sit, relax and take in the sights.
Visitors also get to witness a musically-inspired installation titled ‘Light Piano 2.0’ by Arion de Munck and Mark Ridder, and a colourful artwork titled ‘Nest’ by Vikas Patiland Santosh Gujar – the latter inspired by the symbolism of a bird’s nest. Additionally, visitors were able to interact with ‘Never Ends’ by Luigi Console & Valentina Novembre and ‘Submergence’ by Squidsoup; two immersive artworks providing a unique, provocative and luminous experience.
Among the 10 works on display is also an emotive artwork titled ‘Run Beyond’ by Angelo Bonello, conveying the power of imagination and its ability to conquer fears and limitations, pop art inspired tulips titled ‘BUNCH OF TULIPS’ by Koros Design, ‘TORNADO’ by UxU Studio (which mimics the majesty of the natural phenomena), ‘Sphere 3D Spectrum’ by Clifton Mahangoe, embodying the phrase ‘opposites attract’ and last but not least an installation of 1,500 lights intended to evoke the idea of passion titled ‘DESIRE’, created by Uxu Design and adding inspirational impact to the setting.
Dubai Lights will be running until 29th January, 2023; more installations from renowned artists and studios can be found in Dubai Design District (d3), and Palm Jumeirah
