This is the A/V mapping piece we made for the Artvision Modern in Moscow.
This project was inspired by the study “The colour currency of nature” by the scientist Nicholas Humphrey and the experiments he made according to the red colour.
“Colour vision can and almost surely has evolved alongside signal colouration to enable animals to detect and interpret nature’s colour-coded messages. The messages conveyed by signal colouration are of many kinds.
The most striking illustration of human beings deep evolutionary involvement with colour is the significance that people still attach to the colour red.
Red is by far the most common colour signal in nature and it is used as often to attract as to repel.
For example, large fields of red light induce physiological symptoms of emotional arousal – changes in heart rate, skin resistance and the electrical activity of the brain.”

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.
