Impressive installations by talented artists and designers have made light art well-known all over the world. These are placed in cities, museums, and the outdoor environment and the visitors come to see the creative lighting display.
Large scale projection mapping is one of the most famous light art. Artists display images and animations on the buildings and make the architectural structures become an animated objects. The displays are usually accompanied by music, story telling, and visual designs in order to have a multi-sensory experience.
Another form of installation that is popular is outdoor light sculptures. These sculptures involve the use of light structures to form the shapes and patterns that radiate at night. On some installations thousands of lights are installed in geometric shapes that vary in color and intensity.
Light art exhibitions also feature a lot of light tunnels and lit up walkways. The visitors will be able to cross over light and color corridors and feel art as an element of the installation instead of watching it through the window.
A lot of such installations occur in international art festivals and cultural events. Temporary light shows are held in the cities, which draw thousands of people and promote touring.
Light art installations are not confined to city space. Other artists install their artworks on desolated and isolated places like deserts and mountains. These environments offer dramatic backdrops that increase the effects of visuality of the artwork.
Light art has continued to gain popularity due to the ability to blend innovativeness with technology in new forms. The experiments with the new lighting techniques and settings allow the artists to continue to stretch the limits of what the visual art can accomplish.
