Barcelona Light Festival: Llum BCN 2023
The International Festival of Luminous Arts is a free festival better known as Llum BCN, where artists integrate movement and light in their works through avant-garde and digital formats.
They also integrate virtual reality and artificial intelligence, and create works from the exploration of various aspects of art related to science and technology.
Get ready to enjoy a full display of colorful and moving shows.
According to the organizers of the festival, during the 3 nights and 14 hours of light of the event, it is expected to be visited by about 200,000 spectators.
On the canvases (the buildings), light works will be exhibited with new languages and visual narratives that aim to transform the urban spaces of Poblenou.
All thanks to innovation, creativity and technology that seek to expand the limits of the senses of the attendees.
Thanks to the talent of Barcelona’s art, lighting, design, architecture and scenography schools, the event is possible every year at this time.
In fact, several emerging local and international artists will be an active part of this 2023 exhibition to everyone’s delight.
