Edition 12

Approximately twenty light artworks will illuminate the city centre of Amsterdam once again, during the twelfth edition of Amsterdam Light Festival. From 30.11.2023 until 21.01.2024 the artworks can be admired by boat or by foot.

THEME

For Edition 12 we asked artists to consider the implications of the accelerated use of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in our everyday lives. The way we communicate, socialize and create are all affected by technology and AI. What is the impact on the human condition? Different perspectives will be explored during Edition 12. The official title of the edition is yet to be announced.
