LIGHTWAVE: DEFY THE DARKNESS

LIGHTWAVE 2009 featured everything from a cube shaped universe, to conversations with electric fish and a new kind of fuel cell to provide off-grid light in Africa. The LIGHTWAVE festival and exhibition at Science Gallery had a full range of delights in store for the 16,000 visitors who defied the darkness to explore our relationship with light.

LIGHTWAVE opened with a nine-day festival which featured talks, workshops, performances and a LightClub where new enlightened ideas develop over a cocktail. Speakers included Beau Lotto, Professor JR Gott, Pete Vukusic and David Edwards. Following the festival the interactive LIGHTWAVE exhibition continued at the Science Gallery until February 20th.
