Created by Hugo Arcier and presented at the “Fantômes numériques” exhibition (Lux-Scène Nationale), FPS is an installation inspired by the November 2015 Paris attacks. The visitors are invited to interact with a game controller, constructing a ‘memorial’ from gunshots. The only visible elements are pyrotechnic effects, gunshots, muzzle flashes, sparks, impacts and smoke.

The illuminated traces of gunshots and flashes reveal a decor and impersonal silhouettes. The environment has been constructed from scratch using Unreal Engine 4 and the installation runs on a single PC and a gaming controller.

Music by Stéphane Rives and Frédéric Nogray (The Imaginary Soundscapes)

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.
