Day 361 - Amsterdam Light Festival - illuminated arch at the Rijksmuseum

The Amsterdam Light Festival started on December 6, and can be seen until January 19.

For 50 days, the historical center of Amsterdam will present a unique decor. This year's theme is "Building with Light".  It consists of 30 light sculptures and projections from international artists.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to visit the festival yet, but I will do so next week.

Right now I would like to share one project with you: light battle by venivdimultiplex. This artwork illuminates the passage under the Rijksmuseum. Passengers are invited to take place on an a bicycle and to generate energy and light by pedaling.

Below you see a photo of this interactive artwork.
