DLECTRICITY is Detroit's lighting + art festival named after Detroit's Electric Park. International artists used the city and its buildings to showcase their work. After the sun went down, structures, empty spaces, and the architecture of Midtown were transformed by multi-media displays and installations. This is the first year this event has ever been held in Detroit, and is based upon the 'Nuit Blanche' concept in Paris and NYC.
Dlectricity was awesome! It was an exciting mix of avant garde installations & exhibitions. Music, projections, and performance were happening everywhere you looked. Some projects expressed innovative concepts, others were based on traditional ideas with unexpected results. There were parties, crowds, excitement. It was really impressive. Someone must have put a call in to Eddy Grant because it totally rocked down to Electric Avenue- and then they took it higher.
The learning opportunities for children were endless. They could climb on things, run through installations, explore the properties of light, make their own music, check out tons of experimental art, and most importantly, learn new ideas. There were so many projects that could potentially spark their interest and creative thinking. Dlectricity was a totally innovative experience.
