| Light Terrain by James Witherspoon - using spheres and lighting to explore the interactions of a responsive architectural landscape to pre-existing land and buildings around it. |
On Friday night we headed into Mid and Downtown Detroit to check out the new contemporary light art festive DLECTCITY. Hosting national and international artists, the city played host to design, art and performances in the spaces and walls that make up this part of Detroit with the idea of lighting up the city and welcoming and challenging people to see these spaces in a new light - rather apt for Detroit. We even saw a dancing space monkey.
Sadly the trip Downtown coincided with a huge rain shower that hung over the city and the metro region so we didn't get to see too much. What we did glimpse was entertaining and was great to see so many people out even in the rain. It also became a great excuse to capture some photographs at night - even the blurry images of driving along Woodward captured through rain droplets came out with a great effect.
Light Terrain looks incredible, would really have liked to see that in the flesh! I bet it was tempting to walk amongst those light posts! :-)

To be honest you probably could of gotten away with that - there wasn't any signs of fences to keep you off! It was just the rain that would have stopped me haha!
