For
two electrifying evenings, Midtown Detroit was enveloped in
a sea of light as a number of artists converged on Detroit
to “light up” buildings and city spaces in Midtown
using various mediums that meld sci-fi technology with Victorian
spectacle on a grand scale.

The
city landscape was transformed into temporary exhibitions,
inviting the public to rediscover these spaces and see them
in a new light.

The
name for the event was inspired by Detroit’s very
own Electric Park, which was located on the site of what
is now Gabriel Richard Park.
