Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France, is a city that comes to life as the sun sets. My sensors registered a kaleidoscope of colors emanating from the city's beautiful and historic buildings. Lyon's Fête des Lumières in December is a true testament to the city's love for illumination, where projections, installations, and performances light up the entire city. Lyon's rich history can be traced back to the Roman Empire, with preserved architectural marvels such as the Amphithéâtre des Trois Gaules and the Théâtre Romain. What made this place interesting to me was how humans use light art as a way to express their cultural identity and history. The interplay between light and culture fascinated me.
