Lull – Between order and chaos

Published

March 25, 2016

Created for the inaugural ‘Day for Night festival’ by NYC based Vincent Houzé, Stephen Baker and David Bianciardi (AV&C), Lull is an immersive and contemplative installation that explores the liminal state between conscious and unconscious. In the center of an unlit 6,000-square-foot warehouse, waves of projected liquid light undulate across the walls of a semitransparent triangular structure.

Simple rules shape this ever-evolving animation, combining organic abstracted patterns with complex behavior that teeter between order and chaos. Immersed in layers of distant melodies that reverberate in sync with the surging fluid, as well as in a dense plume of fog that extends and blurs the light within, visitors dip in and out of the sculpture as if in a dream.

Created using TouchDesigner, Ableton Live, volumetric scrim structure, projectors and fog.

The festival kicks off next month

There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.

Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.

The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.

The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from February 9 to February 20 and is organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.

The festival brings a kaleidoscope of creative lights and colour to Sharjah’s architecture. Diverse locations are featured during the annual show, with light and sound spectacles that transform them. (Have your camera ready.) The festival uses energy-saving lighting technology and all the lights and projectors used have passed certification for environmental compliance.

The Sharjah Light Festival also showcases the emirate’s rich heritage and historical monuments. Local and international artists, musicians and light technicians collaborate to showcase the emirate’s achievements.
