As Leicester sparkles this festive season, don’t miss the arrival of Emergence, the glowing audio-visual experience by artists, This is Loop.
Yes, Leicester’s Christmas festivities are sparkling even brighter, as large-scale immersive artwork, Emergence, makes its much-anticipated debut from 13 – 23 December. This mesmerizing audiovisual spectacle is located at The Circle (at the bottom of New Walk) and is open from midday to 10pm, with illumination from 4pm onwards.
Free to visit, get ready for a stunning audiovisual display with over 10,000 LED lights and a soundtrack from NYX Electronic Drone Choir.
Created by globally acclaimed artists This is Loop, whose artwork Pulse was hugely popular at Light Up Leicester festival in 2022, Emergence invites viewers to explore the interplay of light and sound in a contemplative and immersive experience.
As part of Leicester’s Christmas offering, Emergence joins Leicester City Council’s festive events, including the Ice Rink, Wheel of Light, and Fun Fair, and is intended to enrich the city’s seasonal attractions further.
By day, Emergence mirrors its surroundings, reflecting the sky, buildings, and its audience in a multifaceted manner. As daylight fades, a choreographed light show synchronized with an original soundscape by the renowned NYX electronic drone choir brings Emergence to life, further enhancing the immersive experience.
Simon Jenner, BID Leicester Director, expressed enthusiasm, stating, “Bringing Emergence to Leicester is an exciting moment for us at BID Leicester. This mesmerizing installation aligns perfectly with our commitment to enriching the city’s cultural landscape.”
