Games with light
Eli Sirlin / Alfredo Siarez / Luis Bolster / Juan Martin Pozzo / Sebastián Evangelista
· · ·
We invite the participants of EILD and the inhabitants of the city to experience the light in a playful way, interacting with spaces and lighting systems that are offered to enjoy light and its possibilities for dialogue and play.
Light is something that happens to us permanently, signifies and shows itself in a natural way and for that reason intentionally stimulating us reveals its full potential.
For the communication with and of the light it is important to approach the public in a heuristic way, and we understand the game as that possibility of connection between light and people. For that we propose series of interactive models, where people immerse themselves in light, activate light or relate light with other languages spontaneously. We use the game as spontaneous operator of that articulation. Light activates our sensations and allows us to bond with her in an original and personal way, fun and surprising.
