GLOW Eindhoven 2010

Last night we went into town to see the GLOW festival. During this exhibition, various buildings and locations around the city centre are transformed using light and light techniques. Despite the awful weather, town was absolutely packed (the festival is on for just over a week), and we didn't get to see all the exhibits. However, what we did see was pretty amazing.

The church was lit with stripes...then fish swam across it. It was then engulfed in flames, and eventually ice. Not sure why I only took a photo of the stripes though. Huh.

Not a great photo, this was a musical instrument, a bit like tubular bells, lit in a lovely purple colour. A nice interactive piece, as you can tell.

Text and funky patterns painted across the main market square.

Difficult to see, but the metal beams were covered with pistons and cogs which moved. Cool!

A rainy view of flowers and stars.

And the 'star' attraction (at least for us) - the transformation of one of the main shopping streets into a sort of Las Vegas (only not as cheesy):

This transformation was done using wooden structures covered with thousands of LED lights. The effect was stunning.

A view of the ceiling. I had to lean against Mr B so I didn't topple backwards. :D

Because we missed a few exhibits, we're considering going again before the weekend (when the festival closes). Yes, it was *that* good.
