Outside of Bealtaine:
Vectorial Elevations. A significant part of The Day Of Welcomes artist Lozano Hemmer’s project is a classic of networked technology. Over fifteen nights 14364 people from 100 countries made unique designs in searchlights over Dublin’s nightime skline. And it’s beautiful, click on the video.
