IGNITE Broward returns for its fifth year with large-scale, immersive light and technology art installations. Enjoy 10 nights of family-friendly experiences that will transform four locations across Broward County.
Helix Seats is an interactive public seating project featuring two intertwined helices. Embedded with LEDs that change in response to pressure from people's movements, a mesmerizing display emerges through complementary light patterns and animations. The interlocking forms allow foot traffic to pass through while simultaneously creating a feeling of enclosure while seated.
Geist is a new artwork by Loop inspired by the elusive neutrino particle. Neutrinos, in their very nature, are tiny, almost massless particles that are extremely hard to detect but are believed to make up the fabric of the universe. They are believed to have been created by the Big Bang and nuclear reactions inside stars and planets. Neutrinos are omnipresent, and it is thought that billions of them pass through our bodies every second. Particle physicists use mammoth neutrino detectors to hunt and trace these so-called ‘ghost particles.’
Inspired by these enormous neutrino detectors, Geist is our exploration of the complex game of ‘hide and seek’ that scientists play to find and provide evidence for the existence of these particles. Only by hitting mass do these particles become electronically charged and therefore detectable.
Geist uses a mirror illusion to create a suspended spherical object of light, viewable 360 degrees around the sculpture. The sculpture itself is shaped like an octagonal carousel, 6m in diameter, each of its faces a 3x3m window into a figment of mirror and light. The illusion is interactive; only by the proximity and movement of the public does the suspended sphere of light come to life. Individually addressable LED modules start flickering and glimmering in the presence of people. The public is the cause of the artwork’s existence; their mass emits a response from the artwork: a version of ‘hide and seek.’

Oh Lord! is the result of a collaboration with the Paris-Meudon Observatory and the Institute of Planetology and Astrophysics of Grenoble, drawing from various solar observation databases, including some provided by NASA. This installation invites us to revisit and question the fascination with the sun that we have inherited from our ancestors. Since the dawn of humanity, the sun has played multiple roles — as the keystone of cosmic order, a tool of political legitimacy, a force of social unity, and even a precursor to monotheism. Today, in the face of environmental and energy challenges, it embodies both our deepest fears and greatest hopes. The installation reflects not only scientific and technological advances but also our enduring fascination with this celestial body.
