Nottingham will be home to more than 30 immersive and interactive light-based installations, performances and activities this weekend as a popular after dark event returns to the city. The Light Night event will run on Friday and Saturday, February 3 and 4, and has been organised by Nottingham City Council in partnership with Nottingham Business Improvement District, the organisation behind It's in Nottingham.
The 'Pulse' attraction will be located in Old Market Square, which is a large-scale light sculpture that explores the perspectives of audio-visual perception designed by the creative team Loop. The attraction has more than 14,000 individually programmable LEDs across twelve large mirrored rings, which are all tightly synced and choreographed.
Evanescent is another highlight of the event, which is an immersive light and sound environment that aims to capture the concept of transience in the form of a large bubble. The artwork was inspired by the pandemic and created by Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu, which communicates this feeling of the world stopping and the need to live in the moment through the bubble, which will be located at Sneinton Market Square.
