About the artists
Fontys Engineering
The Fontys Engineering team consists of engineering students from Fontys, Avans, and an international student from Catalonia, with expertise in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Product Design, Healthcare Innovation, and Electronics. Their collaborative journey began when they enrolled in the BeCreative minor, a program that offers them the opportunity to create a light art project for GLOW. Inspiration for their work stemmed from previous GLOW editions, other light festivals, and intriguing architectural mechanisms. However, coming up with the light art piece was a challenge. The students are typically accustomed to clear, well-defined projects. “For the light art piece, we needed nearly five weeks, multiple brainstorming sessions, and more than a hundred ideas to arrive at ‘Eye of the Storm.’ After that, things progressed quickly, roles were assigned, and everyone got to work.” Mechanical Engineering students started working on the mechanism, while Electrical Engineering students made headway with the lighting. Collaborating with students from Healthcare Technology, Industrial Product Design students worked on visualization and sponsorship.
