Aurora

Dancing currents like the Northern Lights. With color, light, and flowing movements in the air, you capture a sense of wonder. Creating a copy of the Northern Lights is an almost impossible goal; natural phenomena are at their most captivating when you can witness the original. However, it is possible to evoke the feeling such a marvel brings. Students from Fontys and SintLucas present Aurora at GLOW, aiming to bring this phenomenon to life in Eindhoven.

The installation is designed to provide both an overwhelming impression and a calming experience. For many, the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is an adventure, a dream, or a bucket-list item. It takes luck to witness it at the right place and time. During GLOW, from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM, Kennispoort is the place to be. Here, you have the chance to experience Aurora!

Let yourself be swept away by this unique installation and discover the wonders of nature. Together with others, you can enjoy this phenomenon, viewing the work from different perspectives thanks to the unique shape of the Kennispoort. Hopefully, this experience will stay with you!

About the Artist

Fontys IDE & SintLucas

Students from Fontys Industrial Design Engineering and SintLucas Performing Arts collaborated at the GLOW Academy, where they began working on ideas for a light art installation in January 2024. Guided by mentors, light artists, and teachers, they created Aurora. The idea for this project was inspired by the experience of the team leader, who saw the Northern Lights during a trip with friends. This unforgettable memory became the foundation for an installation designed to give viewers a similar impression. The creative process led to growth, transforming the project into a valuable experience filled with beautiful memories.
