Bright Festival 2024 | Lighting DesignIED - Istituto Europeo di Design

Lighting design is a discipline that combines art and technology to create lighting effects that enhance architectural spaces, events, performances, and artistic installations. Within Bright Festival – event which celebrates new media arts and electronic music – lighting design plays a crucial role, transforming spaces into immersive and evocative environments. During the festival, lighting designers collaborate with artists, musicians, and performers to create light shows that accompany and amplify performances, making each event unique and unforgettable. Light thus becomes a means of artistic expression, capable of evoking emotions and transporting the audience to fantastical worlds.

This publication – part of a series of 5 booklets that explore the main themes of Bright Festival through different designers and artistic visions – delves into lighting design through a series of articles, illustrations, and interactive elements that invite the reader to play with light.
