Wearing the Inside Out

From morning to night I stayed out of sight
Didn't recognize what I'd become
No more than alive I'd barely survive
In a word, overrun

Won't hear a sound
From my mouth
I've spent too long
On the inside out
My skin is cold
To the human touch
This bleeding heart's
Not beating much

I murmured a vow of silence and now
I don't even hear when I think aloud
Extinguished by light I turn on the night
Wear its darkness with an empty smile

I'm creeping back to life
My nervous system all away
I'm wearing the inside out

Look at him now
He's paler somehow
But he's coming round
He's starting to choke
It's been so long since he spoke
Well he can have the words right from my mouth

And with these words I can see
Clear through the clouds that covered me
Just give it time then speak my name
Now we can hear ourselves again

I'm holding out
For the day
When all the clouds
Have blown away
I'm with you now
Can speak your name
Now we can hear
Ourselves again

He's curled into the corner
But still the screen is flickering
With an endless stream of garbage to
Curse the place
In a sea of random images
The self-destructing animal
Waiting for the waves to break

He's standing on the threshold
Caught in fiery anger
And hurled into the furnace he'll
Curse the place
He's torn in all directions
And the screen is still flickering
Waiting for the flames to break

2019 Bucharest Light Festival

2019 Bucharest light festival - SPOTLIGHT

The artistic director of this year’s edition was Jean-François Zurawik, the director and producer of Fête des Lumières – Lyon.

“The theme of this edition – EuropeLights – celebrates the role Romania is playing in Europe throughout this period by capturing a series of relevant European identity characteristics translated into light installations created by local and international artists,” reads a press release.

In this context, Spotlight has launched a call for projects intended for young, emerging artists, architects, and designers, with the theme “Digital Europe. The Europe of the Future.” The organizers invite participants to propose interactive artistic light-based installations that explore at least one of the following aspects: “What Will Europe Look Like in the Future?,” “How Does One Translate Europe into the Digital Language ?,” “Analogue versus Digital – Yesterday’s and Today’s Europe.”

 

SPOTLIGHT – Festivalul Internațional al Luminii, București este cel mai mare festival din România dedicat luminii și tehnologiilor bazate pe lumină, care include anual o serie de instalații de lumină, proiecții video, proiecte de iluminat arhitectural sau instalații artistice interactive ale artiștilor locali și internaționali. Evenimentul a fost organizat de Primăria Municipiului București prin ARCUB în perioada 18-21 aprilie.
Ediția 2019 a festivalului marchează două evenimente majore ale anului:  
Președinția României la Consiliul Uniunii Europene
  și 
deschiderea Sezonului România-Franța la București, care se vor reflecta în tema ediției, intitulată: EuropeLights. Directorul artistic și curatorul celei de-a cincea ediții a festivalului de la București este directorul și producătorul Fête des Lumières – Lyon, Jean-François Zurawik.
 

City in black

To hear never-heard sounds,
To see never-seen colors and shapes,
To try to understand the imperceptible
Power pervading the world;
To fly and find pure ethereal substances
That are not of matter
But of that invisible soul pervading reality.
To hear another soul and to whisper to another soul;
To be a lantern in the darkness
Or an umbrella in a stormy day;
To feel much more than know.
To be the eyes of an eagle, slope of a mountain;
To be a wave understanding the influence of the moon;
To be a tree and read the memory of the leaves;
To be an insignificant pedestrian on the streets
Of crazy cities watching, watching, and watching.
To be a smile on the face of a woman
And shine in her memory
As a moment saved without planning.

― Dejan Stojanovic 

Bucharest Macca - Vilacrosse Passage

Macca-Vilacrosse Passage is a fork-shaped, yellow glass covered arcaded street in central Bucharest, Romania. It was designed by architect Felix Xenopol, and opened in 1891.Pasajul Macca-Vilacrosse hosted the first Stock Exchange House of Bucharest, before a larger and more appropriate structure was built. Between 1950 and 1990 the passage was called Pasajul Bijuteria ("Jewelry Store Passage"), but the initial name was restored afterwards.

Today it hosts several indoor/outdoor eating establishments, including an Egyptian-themed bar/restaurant, the Blues Cafe, a bistro, a Chinese restaurant and a wine bar.

Spotlight Festival - Art Installations

What if the entire facade of the Novotel Hotel turns into an optical illusion? Let yourself amazed by the grace of the simple, repetitive graphic elements that manage to change the perception of the building’ shape. This interactive video mapping allows the participants to express their creativity in real time. Using two midi controllers, one can produce and modify the visual images projected on the facade of the building, as well as change the colours, the shapes and also create audio effects and make diverse elements move.

Watch out for the 12 meters inflatable giant. Made of bright light that shines in the night, this huge creature sets out to explore a new world. Designed to spread the message that our planet is a truly fantastic wonderland, the installation takes after the 1973 science fiction movie with the same title. Whoever visits the Fantastic Planet is transported into a wild universe, populated with numerous giants and a few humans. Don’t let the size of the creatures keep you away, let curiosity prevail and you won’t regret it!

We, the humans, think of ourselves as the most powerful creatures roaming the face of Earth.
The HoloFace tries to challenge this feeling of self-importance and lets you control the face of a god of light. Huge in size and presence.
From this change of perspective one should become aware that the way we relate with the smaller, apparently less important things around us, is the way the higher things relate to us.

A 13 meters wide urban mirage. While the light sculpture gradually displays all its details. Pe măsură ce ansamblul își dezvăluie toate detaliile, atenția trecătorilor este provocată să observe noi perspective. Privește cât mai mult instalația, pentru a experimenta efectul relaxant al unei stări de spirit cu adevărat speciale.

Hikarinoki is the tree made out entirely of green recyclable materials that contracts anyone around with a good mood. The installation made its debut at Lyon Light Festival in 2009 and is famous for transforming its surroundings with bright lights. A symbol of life, Hikarinoki is the link between earth and sky, a place where different worlds meet. The friendly lightning tree works as a great attraction and meeting point, a place where passengers stop and get intoxicated with smiles.
