> FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE invite you to participate to the next
> luminosities of the saturday 15th june 2002 either in
> lighting, or in organising your own light party or by passing
> the words. Remember that FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE is a French
> play-on-words meaning both Do your own Light and Light Party.
>
> The FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE event wants to change daily life
> thanks to shadow and to light. Public outdoor become an
> audiovisual broadcast space, live, and open to any
> sharing. This event is based on an active co-operation
> between inhabitants and local associations.
>
> FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE happen simultaneously in several towns
> and villages: Marseille, Montpellier, Bordeaux, Quincerot,
> Paris, Montargis, Bourges, Toulouse, Genˆ®ve, Bruxelles,
> Montrˆ©al etc’Ķ etc’Ķ.
>
> A simple idea :
> - interrupt temporaly public lighting
> - using facades, shop window, windows, hanging sheets or any
> surface possible or unimaginable to transform it in screen or
> show space
> - work with a commom material adaptable to any project: the
> light, to use as raw material or broadcast possibility
> - broadcast directly in open air several kind of works
> realised by professionals or amateurs in order to cause
> sharing and discoveries
>
> All of the movie projections, videos, slides, chinese shadow,
> street theater and other luminosities create a unique and out
> of the ordinary festival.
>
> The temporaly restoration of the facades bring inhabitants to
> meet different univers that they would never discover. With
> the passer-by spectators, they stroll around surprises. This
> festival change daily space used by the daily life.
>
> Performers are in direct contact with the audience. They can
> meet people who want to know more details about their
> works. Performers often create pieces especially for the
> event.
>
> At first, people at the intiative of this festival organised
> an access public home-TV in the southern of
> Paris. (http://www.teleplaisance.org). FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE
> continue this idea of opening public space in order to create
> a sharing system.
>
> As the event has spreaded, we created the Federation FAITES
> DE LA LUMIˆ®RE. Federation members are local organisators of
> FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE. They are ’Ķ - groups of inhabitants who
> want to wake up their environment, - groups of performers
> with the desire to spread their work beyond classical
> gallery, festivals, - associations created especially for the
> event, - experimental happy clubber ...
>
> Each one imagine and organise their own FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE,
> with its desire, capacities and means. Each FAITES DE LA
> LUMIˆ®RE is autonomous and unique. Further more, everyone take
> care of the website's part which talk about their festival on
> www.faitesdelalumiere.net
>
> Everywhere it's happening, the success is never denied
> because FAITES DE LA LUMIˆ®RE is adaptable and can be changed
> with local energy.
>
> If an association desires to organize a light event outside
> the official date, we describe it as a FIESTALUX. If the
> event doesn’Äôt last all the evening, it becomes a
> LUXACTIF. Within this organization, every member of the
> Federation is autonomous and develops is own perspective.
