Lightwaves 2016<\/a> took place in mid-December, with pieces of light art dotted all across Salford Quays.\u00a0Organised as always by <\/span>Quays Culture,<\/a> who’ve been responsible for some interesting events in recent years, my favourite being\u00a0<\/span>Aeolian Light<\/a> back in\u00a0 January 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to high winds when I was visiting, I didn’t get to see a couple of the pieces – <\/span>Footsteps<\/em> and <\/span>Fire Flies –<\/em>\u00a0as they were turned off, and\u00a0unfortunately I couldn’t photograph Heart Beat<\/em> by <\/span>GNI projects<\/a>, as no-one was willing to hold hands to activate the piece while I was passing by. But some of the artwork I did see was beautiful to behold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alongside donations from the Blackpool illuminations – I didn’t expect the Dalek’s head to swivel and it cry out “Exterminate” – there was\u00a0Voyage<\/em>\u00a0by Aether & Hemera<\/a>, featuring\u00a0198 origami boats floating in Dock 9. \u00a0I didn’t have time to play with the website to create my own patterns,\u00a0but the designs being created by other visitors were certainly pleasing.<\/p>\n

My pick\u00a0though was<\/span>\u00a0Today<\/em> I Love You<\/em>, created by <\/span>Massimo Uberti<\/a> & <\/span>Marco Pollice<\/a>. A simple, elegant message conveyed with a simple,\u00a0elegant font and simple, elegant lighting. Simple. And elegant.<\/p>\n
