Each February, Llum BCN transforms Poblenou into a landscape of light and experimentation. Walking its streets becomes a way of exploring digital installations that interact with the surrounding architecture and public space. A different Barcelona emerges, where art, design and technology meet in temporary and often unexpected ways. No specialist knowledge is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to look again at familiar streets. It brings together those interested in how artistic practice can reshape the city in everyday ways.
This is good to know
Renowned international artists take part alongside students from local architecture and design schools.
A free evening programme, usually from Friday to Sunday, centred on the meeting of technology, architecture and public space.
Many installations are immersive and interactive, so it is worth getting closer and taking part. Some touch on current themes such as artificial intelligence, sustainability and climate change.
