This year, Arctic Optica will participate in BLACKOUT, an event organised by tvibit.
Blackout is a primarily artistic event celebrating the polar night, playing with the concepts of light and darkness. The city illumination around theĀ Prestvannet lake will be cut for several hours and it will be replaced with low-light paths to guide the attendees around the lake. At specific positions along this path, stages will be placed in which various performers will use light as means of expression.
This year, one stage will be taken by Arctic Optica to showcase the science of light. With “Seeing the Full Spectrum”, Arctic Optica will present the attendees with the spectrum of white light, invisible patterns that become visible only under certain illumination, a laser projector to showcase the way light can be harnessed for various applications and a telescope that exemplifies the use of light to learn more about the world.
