Leeds Light Night 2015

This was the first time I have attended Leeds light night and what a unique experience it was.To have what felt like the whole of the city centre close its roads off and open up to the public in such a creative way - was a really inspiring way to spend an evening.
I am really interested in pushing the boundaries of my creative work and what illustration can be. I personally love 3D creative work varying in scale and interactivity so I couldn't miss it.

Funnily enough one of the scientists and visual artists I saw at Breaking Convention over the summer was here showcasing some of his beautiful kinetic energy & light based sculpture artwork. This was great to see in person once again and the work he had on show i feel was really well received.


Video of his light sculptures from Leeds Light Night 2015:

What a lot of people don't know about this work is that in order for the plastic cables to dance under the fluorescent UV lighting, they need kinetic energy. This energy is provided by the audience themselves - the more people, the more energy, the more the light sculpture dance. Such a lovely and successful concept for subtle interactive creativity,

More examples of his work worldwide:

Thoughts Following the night:
