Rising and falling on natural air currents, SPARK is visual poetry in motion, purposefully designed to invoke feelings of interconnectedness between humans and nature. It also provides a sustainable alternative for communal celebrations that want to harness the visual power of light whether in the context of events such as the Olympic Ceremonies, New Year\u2019s Eve or Bonfire Night.<\/p><div id=\"archi-94987062\" class=\"archi-in-content-square archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Square responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2313495938\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div><div id=\"archi-1788876271\" class=\"archi-in-content-square-2 archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Square responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2313495938\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>SPARK is inspired by the magical lights of fireflies, flocks of birds and galaxies of stars, SPARK\u2019s creator <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/brand-details\/Studio-Roosegaarde-2986\">Roosegaarde<\/a> invites Londoners to lie back on cushions and blankets to witness the majestic rise of SPARK through the night skies above.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to cherish traditions but we need to keep modernising them to be relevant,\u201d Daan added. \u201cTo show contemporary organic fireworks in this historical context is a true honour and shows the beauty of a new, sustainable celebration.\u201d<\/p><div id=\"archi-2828212210\" class=\"archi-horizontal-in-content archi-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Horizontal responsive -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1313562808736279\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4811561488\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>The man behind the project, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archidust.com\/brand-details\/Studio-Roosegaarde-2986\">Roosegaarde<\/a> is no stranger to creating international headlines through his work, profiled by the likes of Wired, Dezeen, the Guardian. His Smog Free Project uses seven-metre-high towers to hoover air from inner cities and create diamonds from collected carbon, is currently being used in urban parks across China. Urban Sun, which will feature at the upcoming Solar Biennale, uses safe far-UVC 222nm light to clean public spaces of the coronavirus. In Seeing Stars he will collaborate with the Dutch city of Leiden on 25 September 2022 to turn off its city lights, unveiling the majesty of the skies above and reiterating the need for human connection with our natural universe.<\/p>\n<p>Festival-goers will be able to enjoy SPARK at GDIF, London\u2019s annual free festival of art, theatre, dance and circus that transforms public spaces across Greenwich and East London for 18 extraordinary days of FREE events between 26 August through to 11 September. Speaking about why he chose SPARK to open GDIF, GDIF\u2019s Artistic Director Bradley Hemmings MBE explained: \u201cGDIF has always set out to reflect the evolving story of Greenwich and East London and large scale spectacle has always been part of this.
