PLEASE TOUCH
You make the landscape. The landscape makes you.

PRESENCE turns your body into the interface. No screens, no sensors. Phosphorescent materials, light-sensitive surfaces, luminous particles and moving spheres transform every touch and movement into temporary traces of light. You are encouraged to touch the art, to become one with it.

Nearly 180,000 people became part of PRESENCE at the Groninger Museum, setting a summer attendance record.

The work received the AZ Award of Merit, the LIT Lighting Design Award and the Digital Dozen Storytelling Award in New York.

We change the world simply by being in it.

The question is not whether we leave a trace, but what kind of trace we choose to create.

The future starts with imagination. ✨

Flowers that glow. Biodegradable friendly fireworks. A virtual flood of light. A glowing bicycle path.

From TED and NASA to Love Tomorrow Summit, Daan Roosegaarde shares how seemingly impossible ideas can become reality.

Because before we can build a better future, we have to imagine it.

Coming up next: Dubai, Košice and Finland.
Where should Daan spark imagination next? ✨

What if clean air were not a privilege, but a public experience?

Launched here in Rotterdam, the Netherlands, SMOG FREE TOWER transforms one of the city’s greatest challenges into a place of possibility.

The seven-metre tower draws in polluted air and releases clean air around it, creating a space where people can breathe and experience a cleaner future. The captured smog is then compressed into Smog Free Rings, turning pollution into a visible reminder that change is possible.

SMOG FREE TOWER is local solution for clean air, a demonstration of how design can make problems tangible, and better cities imaginable.

Because true beauty is not what we own. It is the air we share.

LIGHTS OFF. STARS ON.
Hvad sker der, når en hel by slukker lyset?

Søndag 6. september inviterer Aarhus Festuge hele byen til Seeing Stars – et kunstværk af den hollandske kunstner Daan Roosegaarde.

Fra kl. 21.30 slukker vi alt lyset i hjertet af Aarhus. Gadelys, facadebelysning, lys i virksomheder og institutioner slukkes, og sammen skaber vi mørke nok til, at stjernerne igen kan træde frem over byen.

I Festugeparken kan du opleve nattehimlen og sammen med resten af byen løfte blikket mod stjerner, planeter og måske endda Mælkevejen.

Se videoen – og glæd dig til Festugens poetiske finale.

Seeing Stars er støttet af Kemp & Lauritzen Fonden, Kirsten og Gunnar Fonden, Knud Højgaards Fond og Salling Fondene.

Tak til Aarhus Kommune og Anders Winnerskjold
