Each winter, a brand-new version of the Amsterdam Light Festival is organized, with artworks created especially for the festival. Moreover, the festival contains special projects collaborating with artists, partners, and various stakeholders. For example, the education project in which loads of primary school students participate and the Breitner Academy in which young talent co-creates an artwork for the festival has been part of the festival for seven years. The Amsterdam Light Festival hosts unique events and adventures for citizens, from younger to older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOST SIGNIFICANT ART PIECES AT THE AMSTERDAM LIGHT FEST\u0130VAL<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.26 AMSTERDAM BY JANET ECHELMAN <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Janet Echelman<\/a><\/em><\/strong> is a sculptor, notably famous as unique at the scale of buildings and city blocks. Echelman’s work dares forms and subjects as it touches numerous areas. To illustrate, Sculpture, Architecture, Urban Design, Material Science, Structural & Aeronautical Engineering, and Computer Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Echelman's art transforms with wind and light and shifts from being \"an object before your eyes desire to look at\" \ninto \"an ineffable experience and sense you get to lost in.\"<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2012, 1.26 sculpture Janet Echelman’s 230-foot-long aerial sculpture was installed over the Amstel River from the top of the Amsterdam Stopera, which houses the City Hall and Muziektheater. Moreover, as the signature project of the 2012-2013 Amsterdam Light Festival, the artwork underlines global interdependence. Currently, it returned to the same spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 1.26 sculpture is made entirely of soft materials, including Spectra<\/em><\/strong> <\/em>fiber material with high-tenacity polyester fiber, and colored lighting, and 15 times stronger than steel by weight, which allows it to fasten to current architecture without additional reinforcement. In addition, a unique lighting program integrates changing and contrasting colors reflected below the water. As a result, the sculpture becomes an ethereal form that transforms day to night, and in darkness, appears to “float in thin air.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
