Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#6 | Light Connector | interactive Projection

Ocubo, Portgual

"Light Connector" is an interactive art installation by the artist duo "Ocubo" that visually connects people with each other and playfully breaks down barriers. The great thing is that when visitors enter the 300 square metre area on Burgplatz, they themselves become part of the artwork. Because their positions and movements change the entire appearance. The interaction with the installation and the people among themselves makes "Light Connector" a unique experience for young and old.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm

Location: Burgplatz
