Dozens of oversized, incandescent light bulbs hang in the blacked-out Great Hall. As electricity passes through a special dimmer, the bulb coils come to life and become audible. The result is a spectacular electric chorus and flashing light display. Presented in collaboration with Newcastle ScienceFest, it celebrates the invention of the incandescent light bulb by Sunderland-born Joseph Swan. Some of his earliest light bulbs can be seen in Discovery Museum. This is the English premiere of condemned_bulbes, by the Montréal-based digital creation studio artificiel (Alexandre Burton, Jimmy Lakatos and Julien Roy).
Co-produced by AV Festival 10 and Newcastle ScienceFest in partnership with Discovery Museum.
