The festival will run from November 24th to December 3rd, 2023.
The Doncaster Festival of Light has become a beloved tradition, attracting attendees from across all of Doncaster.
This year, Right Up Our Street are proud to showcase three artworks from Universal Everything. Transfiguration, Future You and Into the Sun.
About the Artwork
TRANSFIGURATION
What does evolution look like? The ever-changing walking figure in Transfiguration depicts a figure that transforms in front of our eyes, echoing our own emotional upheaval.
FUTURE YOU
Future You is a digital mirror that presents a synthetic version of the viewer. The interactive artwork only comes to life when it is activated by someone in front of it.
INTO THE SUN
Our interactive artwork Into the Sun responds to the movement of the viewer. Here we stand in a natural landscape, which only comes to life when we interact with it.
For the opening weekend only there will be additional artworks in the grounds of the Minster.
