A Unique Experience
IGNITE Broward is an art and light festival like no other. As Marc Aptakin, one of the organizers, notes, "It’s an art and light festival. We have over 25 exhibits, and there are artists from all over the world, as well as many local artists represented." The exhibits on display are not your average art pieces; they are a fusion of technology, art, and innovation.
Interactive and Immersive
The interactive angle is a key aspect of this festival, according to Aptakin. "They bring a level of fun that I think you sometimes don’t find in other mediums. It becomes thought-provoking, you know, I think it brings out the kid in all ages." Visitors can expect to engage with projection mapping, light sculptures, artificial intelligence-generated art, and more.
