Curator’s introduction
The e-Luminate Cambridge Festival is an annual event run entirely by volunteers.
It is for the local community of Cambridge as well as to bring people to our city to
explore its fascinating history whilst looking towards the future. In conjunction with
the wider Festival programme, it involves local businesses, opening their doors and
making Cambridge a destination. As a volunteer led organisation, every penny we
receive from the public, businesses and donors goes towards creating the Festival.
So they deserve a big ‘thank you’ from the whole community.
For this year’s edition, we worked with some
incredibly talented artists based in East Anglia,
the UK and across Europe who created a series of
artworks specifically for Cambridge.
The theme, Connecting Lights, creates a connection
between the various parts of a complex and diverse
city that is fast changing yet still widely recognised
as much for its history as for its new ideas,
innovations and people.
Gold Sponsors
The programme comprises a number of commissions and special events
that both mirror and exploit the way we live our online, connected lives;
where technology creates both benefit and risk.
The artists are addressing this in a series of conversations with iconic
buildings in Cambridge.
Each site will tell a story and will be connected to another site and
story, through LightQuest, an interactive web-based game developed by
Francesco Anselmo, a brilliant (excuse the pun) lighting designer at Arup.
Silver Sponsors
The e-Luminate Cambridge programme brings perspective to a number of
issues relating to the future ecology of the city, regeneration, sustainable
living, mobility and energy usage. In looking to the future, we are in
some ways connecting to the past. The majestic buildings which are
internationally recognised as a symbol of the academic enlightenment of
Cambridge, become the stage for spectacular light installations.

The Festival offers opportunities for an interdisciplinary exploration of Light
creating a living collection that shows the breadth of lighting practice across
disciplines and contributes to the development of our understanding of light
as a creative medium and its impact on our cultural history.
Media partner
Festival highlights include Senate House and Old Schools as imagined in
geometric lines and kaleidoscopic colours by Susie Olczak. Ross Ashton
adds his unique touch in the projection on the front of Senate House and
the stunning Fitzwilliam Museum, celebrating their bicentenary in 2016,
becomes animated with Light and colours. Another important anniversary
is that of the Cambridge University Library with its imposing tower visible
from miles out which will be bathed in colour by Philips Lighting.
Proudly part of
Other highlights I am truly looking forward to are our series of Light based
workshops for the half term, in particular do not miss the Litre of Light
activities, and the launch concert at Great St Mary’s – the best way to start
your festival!

Installations
Illuminating the Heart of
Cambridge
Artist: Simon White
Venue: Cambridge Judge Business
School A
Dates: 12-17 Feb
Admire the architectonic features of this
stunning building coming to life in the
lighting scheme created by Simon White,
a lighting designer with many years of
experience in the sector.
This is also the site of the Old
Addenbrooke’s Hospital, which opened
exactly 250 years ago in 1766. Dr John
Addenbrooke left just over £4500 in his
will “to hire and fit up, purchase or erect
a small, physical hospital in the town of
Cambridge for poor people”. A couple of
major extensions were added to it until
it became a necessary to move to a
larger site in the south of the city (where
Addenbrooke’s still remains today) and
from 1984 the building was left empty.
In 1991, generous benefactions from
Sir Paul and Lady Judge, together with
the Monument Trust, provided the funds
for the construction of a building for the
newly formed School. The architect John
Outram was appointed to the project
which was completed in August 1995,
and officially opened by Her Majesty
Queen Elizabeth II.
Casting a Light
Artist: Malgosia Benham
Venue: Gonville and Caius College
D
Dates: 12-17 Feb
Colour Collection
Artist: Gabby Shawcross
Venue: Fitzwilliam Museum
B
The lighting solution for Gonville & Caius
will encompass the historical features of
the College, complementing the structure,
creating a link throughout the selected
scenes. The lighting scheme is playful,
having a modern edge utilising energy
efficient LED technology, whilst being
sympathetic to the building’s history.
Dates: 12-17 Feb
A celebratory moving lights show on the
stunning portico of the Fitzwilliam Museum in
their bicentenary year. For this piece the artist
has selected and sampled 200 colours from
objects in the museum to create the colour
palette for the lighting.
The Source of Enlightenment
Artist: Mike Moreton
Venue: University Library
C
Dates: 12-17 Feb
For the installation at University Library,
Philips is providing Mike with a state-ofthe-art LED lighting system to illuminate
the building’s façade. The dynamic colourchanging lighting is designed to highlight
the buildings architectural features

Installations
The Light Hub
Artist: Ian Kirby
Venue: Great St Mary’s Church
F
Dates: 12-17 Feb
The title Light Hub is inspired by last year’s
pop up gallery in Parker’s Piece as Great St
Mary’s is in 2016 becoming the centre for
not just a wonderful installation by Ian Kirby,
but also the backdrop to other main events
in the e-Luminate Cambridge Festival.
Twinkling
Artist: Eleonora Nicoletti
Venue: Great St Mary’s Church Garden

Dates: 12-17 Feb

Dates: 12-17 Feb
Dates: 12-17 Feb
Lines and shapes merge in this stunning
projection by Ross Ashton featuring Susie
Olczak. Reminiscent of the Venn diagrams,
this piece is a tribute to John Venn, English
logician and philosopher who studied at
Gonville and Caius College.
For the third year, Susie Olczak will
collaborate with Pulsar for the creation of a
low energy interactive light installation onto
the façade of Senate House

Twinkling is a dynamic, shimmering
sculpture composed of upcycled CDs that
are all interconnected through thin cables
to form a wavy, suspended surface that
continuously sparkles while trembling in
the wind.

Regency Now
Artist: Jack Beccegato and Carlo Fiorini
Artist: Paul Butler
Venue: Market Square
Venue: Barr Ellison building

Mirage
Artist: Visual Poke & Zero Kb
I
Dates: 12-17 Feb
Dates: 12-17 Feb 2016
Jack Beccegato and Carlo Fiorini, an
international duo of creators and pioneers
in the arts and entertainment sector, are
participating in this year’s e-Luminate
Cambridge Festival with an interactive
projection mapping called Pong.
The Barr Ellison building is an elegant
Regency town house. The artist’ concept of
a colour uplift is to change the aspect of the
streetside visualisation, from close quarters
and across Parker’s Piece to make it stand
out from the modernist Police Station and
other similar buildings close by. Rather than
going for a full colour pallet, Paul Butler
has selected strong Regency red to start
either side of the building , getting more
and more purple blue to the centre with
column uplighters in a bright cool white,
and background wash to enhance the 3D
effect of the entrance portico.
Inspired by the much-loved Atari video
game from the 70’s, the piece will be
projected over the façade of one of the
buildings in Market Square, and includes an
interactive section where people living in
that very building will have the opportunity
to interact with the projection and play the
game, as well as creating a large scale
artwork for the public to enjoy.
This entertaining piece aims to show
how our daily use of light impacts on
our surrounding environment and will
be enhanced by a selection of projection
mapping pieces from various light artists
that are associated with the duo.

e-Luminate Cambridge Festival 2016
Sequence
Artist: Simon Cox
Venue: Guildhall
H
Dates: 12-17 Feb
A colourful sequence creating ripples of
light onto the facade of the Guildhall. We
are grateful to the Cambridge City Council
for their continue support of the e-Luminate
Cambridge Festival.
Venue: Cambridge Judge Business
School, weekdays 8am-6pm A
Dates: 12-17 Feb
A bespoke sculptural piece for TTP Group,
based on their newly developed “Mirage”
glass concept.
The sculptural piece, simply called
“Mirage,” will display imagery in a unique
format, rotating sheets of the Mirage glass,
will suggest facets of an overall piece
of creative content…where the viewer
seldom gets the chance to see the whole
frame. The piece will be a mesmerising
walk-round where the view will constantly
change and you may never see the same
combination of facets and image alike.
The exceptional ability of the transparent
Mirage glass to reflect light in front
projection will be revealed through the dual
projector format, displaying imagery on
both sides of the glass simultaneously.
Custom content creation by ZeroKB will
bring the piece to life.

Installations
Inner Light
The Moon Seat
Artist: Simon Fisher
Venue: St Giles’ Church
J
Artist: Alexander Jenkins and Owen
Hindley
Dates: 12-17 Feb
Venue: Cambridge Union
This project aims to highlight a hidden gem
of Cambridge: the Nave Windows of St
Giles’ Church. The artist has picked out the
9 windows on the south side and lit them
with powerful LED lights to make them
shine, as the title hints, with an inner light.
Dates: 12-17 Feb
LightQuest
K
The moon has been the subject of many
myths and numerous folklore tales
throughout human history. We wonder at
its mystical power over us or just marvel
at its celestial majesty. However, we live in
a time when artificial light is removing our
innocent and perhaps naive relationship to
the night, so employing artificial means to
summon back ideas and notions outside of
the norm feels appropriate.
Join us for an illuminating quest around Cambridge.
From 12th February til 17th February, an ideal half term activity.
Around different sites in our city, we have placed some
innovative creations; interactive lanterns that respond to
Bluetooth technology. Each lantern is embedded with a
beacon, and as you approach with your mobile phone with
downloaded web based app, you will light up the lantern and
have some information about the site delivered to your phone!
The Moon Seat is a playful installation that
draws the audience closer, entertaining our
inner child whilst simultaneously courting
long forgotten childhood fears. Participants
will become instigators breathing life
back into the myth, at once entertaining
themselves, one another and all the while
connecting through long shared stories and
imaginings about the mysterious power of
our ever watchful moon.
A fantastic way to learn some facts and stories about our city,
and marvel at the clever technology developed by Francesco
Anselmo, lighting designer at Arup.
The Competition
We would like you to discover all or some of the e-Lanterns, and
record your finds on your phone. Take a picture of you and
perhaps your friends with the lantern, upload to our LightQuest
Facebook page, tag with #LoveLight2016 and you could win a
prize! All the sites have pledged a prize, and we will award these
to the posts with the most likes. You might be lucky enough to

fantastic prizes.
Registration will be available from 12th February 2016.
Visit http: http://bit.ly/1Qv4bNZ for instructions
and start the fun!
Lets kick off your quest at Great St Mary's Church.
The journey can be completed at any time of day, but to
maximise your experience, we suggest you wait until sundown.

Bernardo Pollak, PhD candidate,
Department of Plant Sciences, Cambridge
Lo Lamento aims to reunify and visibly light
up the connection between humanity and
their bacterial selves – to offer sustenance
and life to the bacteria in recognition of their
thankless work within us. The installation
nurtures an arresting visual and physical
dialogue through the flow and glow of soft
blue bioluminescent arteries pumping air
and life through the piece. The centrepiece
is a glowing garment, damp and alive with
bioluminescent bacteria, exploring potential
body-garment interactions facilitated by a
biological symbiosis. Glass orbs surround
the garment, filled with bioluminescent
bacteria, lighting the room and the
audience with a soft blue glow. The orbs are
fed with tubes, a flowing and connected
system of visible energy, mirroring the
lungs, the bloodstream, the heart, the
umbilical cord or the womb.

Join us for a kinetic dance performance
set around the public art installation ‘I’m
Laughing at Clouds’ by Michael Pinsky.
Within a grid of interactive light columns a
dance piece unfolds. Dancers move around
the space connecting with the columns,
which detect their heart rate and emit light
and sound. The result is a dynamic piece of
choreography where the sound score and
light display are conducted by the dancers
themselves.
Free to attend but please book at http://bit.

Join us for an enlightening experience
in the stunning Fellows’ Dining Room at
Gonville and Caius College.
Be part of a wonderful experiment to prove
whether lighting conditions influence our
perception of wine. We will taste a range of
Italian sparkling wines and see if changing
the lighting alters our experience of them.
We will also learn more about sparkling
wine from Italy made both by tank and
traditional methods.
This beautiful room has limited seats so

Dates: 17 Feb 2016 at 4pm
Be amazed at the wonder of human power
as you use bicycles to generate light. Use
purely your own physical strength to pedal
the kilo-bikes and light as many lights as
you possibly can. Challenge your family and
friends to see who can generate the most
power - but be warned - the more lights you
light, the harder it will become to pedal.

The Trail of Light, part of the e-Luminate
Cambridge Festival, is a unique way
to experience the architecture of the
College chapels, the beautiful organs, and
sublime choirs in a most unusual light.
This event consists of a walk through
the historic city of Cambridge at the
discovery of two College chapels:
Emmanuel and Gonville & Caius. In each
chapel the music scholars will delight the
audience with a mini concert of about 1520 minutes before the group would move
to the next destination.
This performance is due to begin at 5pm,
however please arrive 15 minutes prior to
the event. Participants will be given their
own LED Light and, by walking from one
College to the next, they will become the
connecting energy between places and
form a moving light art installation.
