From Thursday 18 – Sunday 21 January 2018, from 5.30-10.30pm,
head to Carnaby to see the amazing Ganton Street Light Bulbs light
up like you have never seen them before – with a spectacular ‘dance’ sequence
light show, alongside an array of illuminated street art pieces found
throughout the 14 streets.
Be dazzled by over 50
oversized Light Bulbs suspended from the sky, which will display a rainbow of
colours over the four nights. Continue across Ganton Street towards the
Newburgh Quarter to see the Plug & Socket; first installed in 2005, this
immediately became a characteristic feature of Carnaby - watch it power up the
Ganton Street bulbs across Lumiere London.
Shaida Walking, the stunning light
art installation in Carnaby by renowned British artist Julian Opie, situated at
the top of Broadwick Street by Carnaby Street, is also not to be missed. See
the double-sided LED piece playing with light and animation to create a
digitalised ‘walking portrait’, celebrating its second anniversary in Carnaby.
