Attending the prestigious festivals in Eindhoven city is one of the best things you can do in the world. The most famous festival in this city is the GLOW Festival, where you can immerse yourself in the light artworks of the world’s most creative artists. After 1 year of being postponed due to the epidemic, GLOW Eindhoven Festival will officially return in November 2022. Are you ready?
Why is the GLOW festival the brightest spot in Eindhoven at the end of the year?
The Dutch city of Eindhoven hosts the GLOW festival, a celebration of light art, each November. Light art and design applications are presented by domestic and international artists and designers using new media technologies like computers, sensors, animations, as well as the well-known projection techniques.
In November 2006, the first GLOW festival took place. The festival is an open-air display of local and international light artists in a public setting. A roughly 5-kilometer walking path through the heart of the city connects the light installations. Artists’ works are on display in the city and along the banks of the Dommel during the festival. Every year, the festival route is altered to highlight various neighborhoods and parts of Eindhoven.
New light projects that are being displayed for the first time are the focus of GLOW-Next. In Eindhoven, engineers, designers, scientists, and artists collaborate to produce cutting-edge lighting concepts, methods, and insights. These initiatives were displayed in 2016 as part of the 60th anniversary celebrations for Eindhoven University of Technology.
What to expect at GLOW Festival Eindhoven 2022?
From Sunday, November 13, 2022, through Sunday, November 20, 2022, the festival will be held in Eindhoven city.
New but familiar
In actuality, GLOW 2022 represents a step into the future rather than merely a reprise of a beloved event. The core values of “High-profile, Connecting, Accessible and Innovative” serve as the foundation for the vision “Light art for everyone.”
By everyone, for everyone
Which theme, then, does GLOW this year better than Urban Skin? Urban, as we are once more involving the city and its citizens. Skin, as the theme introduces the idea that GLOW invents and covers with its light art the city center as a moving body.
The light artworks
Hugo Vrijdag’s idea for Picto Facto with walking street art and enormous, unforgettable projections of co-creations by prominent local tech companies like ASML and DAF are among the artworks. There are also projections of 20,000 schoolchildren visualizing and projecting their monsters on and in the Van Abbemuseum (with artist Michel Suk). Light and water projections will alternate with indoor and outdoor projections and be displayed throughout the city.
Over 30 original pieces of art were carefully selected and commissioned to complement one another and to convey the meaning of Urban Skin. Additionally, GLOW hosts an educational conference where we discuss important issues for the future. Consider issues like sustainability, light pollution, and lighting.
