Because of the production of light bulbs by Philips in
Eindhoven, this city has had a strong association with light and is also
nicknamed the city of light (lichtstad). 2006 saw the first edition of the GLOW
Festival, an outdoor art exhibition of installations using artificial light and
projection art on well known buildings.
The site for the festival varies, but always centres
around the town centre of Eindhoven with its high rise buildings. For the GLOW Festival
international artists and designers are invited to showcase light art projects
on a theme using both well known projection techniques, as well as new
technology, multimedia, computers, sensors, animations and music. Over half a million
visitors attended this year's edition themed Urban Playground.
