Light shows have always mystified and entertained people for their magicalness and uniqueness they give off. The Light City was held again in Baltimore at the Inner Harbor. This light show was not a speculation to see from afar, it is a exhibit that allows the spectators to interact with the art. Visitors are able to practically walk on the lights and they are programmed to change with human interaction. Their are lights everywhere from hanging from buildings, on the water, installed into the floor, and etc. So sculptures were able to light up and the visitors were able to walk into it and just look up and be amazed. The city was a collaborate exhibit that involved local artist, performers, musicians, and food companies, making it “hyper” local and unique to the harbor. When I look at the photos that were taken, it made me really want to experience this city, it also reminded me of a rave since it took place at night, the lights were bright and colorful, and they were similar to strobe lights. In general, I thought that his light art show was super awesome and beautiful, but I feel like I would get really dizzy after awhile since I’m sensitive to lights and I probably get super excited, run around and explore a lot, then become exhausted, but I’m sure it would all be worth it.
