The walls and ceiling of a Halifax church were illuminated with flowing, curvilinear patterns manipulated by a keyboard operated by a German man Wednesday.
“They shall take away what they make out of it,” Laurenz Theinert said, adding that his art doesn’t contain messages for the audience.
He is one of 12 artists participating in a four-night event called Responsive: International Light Art Project Halifax.
There are eight sites, including Halifax City Hall, the Black-Binney House, and the Presbyterian Church of Saint David.
The event “is about art in public space, it’s about art in museums, it’s about digital media, and it’s about light as a material of art,” said artistic director Bettina Pelz.
