Pure Joy Looks Like This Kaleidoscopic Light Installation

Joanie LeMercier and Le Comte’s new installation will give you butterflies in your stomach.

Effervescent white light shines crystal clear in concert with an uplifting electronic soundscape in a new multimedia experience by French light and space artist Joanie Lemercier (previously, previously) and ambient electronic act Le Comte. Lemercier makes projections that transform building facades and installation spaces with minimal geometric patters, and has worked with architects, 3D artists, and musicians including Jay Z to add dimension to his work. The symbiosis of Le Comte’s live tracks and Lemercier’s visual performance at Les Garages Numériques in Brussels sparks the kind of pure emotional reaction that has drawn us to the latter’s work for years. In teaser footage Lemercier recently published on Vimeo, we see one scene that feels like floating through an interstellar nebula, and another that turns the space into a massive refracting kaleidoscope. Check out the full footage below, and be sure to leave your headphones in for Le Comte’s heart-melting ambient track.

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.
