E-Luminate March 2013
The benefits of breakthroughs in new state-of-the-art clean light and glass technology being developed in Cambridge are often a little difficult to fathom for the uninitiated, and there been a problem in explaining it fully, and how it is rapidly changing the world both environmentally by saving and for generating energy.
Light technologies ability to lend itself to doing interesting things with light in public spaces at night, and gave rise to a new idea. February saw the beginning of the new E-luminate festival of light in Cambridge which looks set to become annual heralding a whole new facet to life on the city’s darkened streets as green technology is used to light up engaging art works which demonstrate what the technology does.
It’s a collaboration bringing together the Cambridge Film trust, Cambridge University, Enlight, Barclays Electrical and Solar among others firms, and local visual artists at Cambridge School of Art.
E-luminate’s Festival of Light is was the brain child of Director Alexandra Caggiano who wants the city to adopt a new attitude towards enjoying the visual assets of the city in a way unique to the Cambridge story.
