Celebrating the fusion of light art, technology and music

Illuminate Adelaide explores and celebrates the overlap between creativity and technology.

From Neolithic cave paintings that seem to move in the flicker of firelight, to the dramatic chiaroscuros of Caravaggio and James Turrell’s use of light not as a tool but as a medium, artists have long been fascinated by the creative possibilities and properties of light.

Both Azzopardi and Lee Cumberlidge, her Illuminate Adelaide co-Founder and Creative Director, share a performing arts background, which means they ā€˜really wanted that theatrical, emotional connection to the work,’ she explains.
