\u2018Inhabiting urban light\u2019<\/strong> is a project that emerged in 2013<\/a> as a challenge: to create a piece suitable for festivals and light-related events that would take advantage of the city’s light resources without generating additional consumption. Already at that time, we felt that there was a perception that light events were a great waste of energy, something that, with current electricity prices, could be considered unethical.<\/p>\n

Now, in a complex political and social context, this idea makes more sense than ever. We have therefore decided to graphically revise the project, refine it and present it in a more attractive and understandable way.<\/p>\n

The approach is simple: to use the light of urban street lamps to transform their light beam into a living space, where people can spend time at night without external energy sources. In this way, instead of adding electricity consumption to the city, we use the resources that are already available in the streets.<\/p>\n

The design consists of lightweight cone-shaped metal structures, created from two circumferences joined by rods. These structures, which can vary in size and shape depending on the type of luminaire to be intervened, will be attached directly to the foot of the lampposts located in main streets or squares.<\/p>\n

To enclose the structure and create a sheltered environment, they will be covered with white semi-transparent tulle fabric. In this way, the light beam from the lampposts is captured, creating a cosy and comfortable environment that invites citizens to spend time there free of charge and without consuming additional resources. These spaces could also serve as intimate settings for free cultural activities.<\/p>\n

Beyond being an energy-free piece in a light event, \u2018Inhabiting Urban Light\u2019<\/strong> addresses a growing problem: energy poverty. This reality affects thousands of people who cannot afford to pay high electricity rates. In a context where having access to light at home has become a luxury for many, this piece seeks to make this social injustice visible while offering a space where urban light becomes the protagonist.<\/p>\n

In addition, the project underlines the importance of good lighting in public spaces, which facilitates the lives of citizens by allowing them to be in well-lit streets at night and feel safe. At the same time, it reminds that this is achieved with public money, coming from the taxes of all citizens.<\/p>\n

With this piece, we aim not only to create an artistic intervention, but also to raise awareness about energy poverty and to show that it is possible to generate sustainable and community spaces without resorting to high energy consumption, always thinking about the common good.<\/p>\n

The piece would be open all day for people to use, and at night, once lit up, it could serve both as an urban shelter and as a stage for cultural activities, such as concerts or small-scale theatre.<\/p>\n

In addition, it could include elements such as cushions, chairs and tables to make it more comfortable, or let the neighbours themselves inhabit it and adapt it according to their needs.<\/p>\n

Hopefully we will soon be able to carry it out.<\/p>\n

\u00abHabitar la luz urbana\u00bb<\/strong> es un proyecto que surgi\u00f3 en 2013<\/a> como un desaf\u00edo: crear una pieza adecuada para festivales y eventos relacionados con la luz, que aprovechara los recursos lum\u00ednicos de la ciudad sin generar un consumo adicional. Ya en aquel momento, consider\u00e1bamos que exist\u00eda la percepci\u00f3n de que los eventos de luz suponen un gran despilfarro energ\u00e9tico, algo que, con los precios actuales de la electricidad, podr\u00eda considerarse poco \u00e9tico.<\/p>\n

Ahora, en un contexto pol\u00edtico y social complejo, esta idea cobra m\u00e1s sentido que nunca. Por ello, hemos decidido revisar gr\u00e1ficamente el proyecto, refinarlo y presentarlo de una manera m\u00e1s atractiva y comprensible.<\/p>\n

El planteamiento es sencillo: aprovechar la luz de las farolas urbanas para transformar su haz lum\u00ednico en un espacio habitable, donde las personas puedan pasar tiempo durante la noche sin recurrir a fuentes de energ\u00eda externas. De esta manera, en lugar de a\u00f1adir consumo el\u00e9ctrico a la ciudad, utilizamos los recursos que ya est\u00e1n disponibles en las calles.<\/p>\n

El dise\u00f1o consiste en estructuras met\u00e1licas ligeras con forma de cono, creadas a partir de dos circunferencias unidas por varillas. Estas estructuras, que pueden variar en tama\u00f1o y forma seg\u00fan el tipo de luminaria que se intervenga, se acoplar\u00e1n directamente al pie de las farolas ubicadas en calles principales o plazas.<\/p>\n

Para cerrar la estructura y crear un ambiente resguardado, estas se cubrir\u00e1n con tela de tul semitransparente de color blanco. De esta manera, se captura el haz de luz de las farolas, generando un entorno acogedor y confortable que invita a los ciudadanos a pasar tiempo en \u00e9l de manera gratuita y sin consumir recursos adicionales. Estos espacios podr\u00edan servir, adem\u00e1s, como escenarios \u00edntimos para actividades culturales gratuitas.<\/p>\n

M\u00e1s all\u00e1 de ser una pieza sin consumo energ\u00e9tico en un evento de luz,\u00a0\u00abHabitar la luz urbana\u00bb<\/strong>\u00a0aborda una problem\u00e1tica creciente: la pobreza energ\u00e9tica. Esta realidad afecta a miles de personas que no pueden permitirse pagar las altas tarifas de la electricidad. En un contexto en el que tener acceso a la luz en casa se ha convertido en un lujo para muchos, esta pieza busca visibilizar esta injusticia social mientras ofrece un espacio donde la luz urbana se convierte en protagonista.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, el proyecto subraya la importancia de una buena iluminaci\u00f3n en los espacios p\u00fablicos, que facilita la vida de los ciudadanos al permitirles estar en calles bien iluminadas durante la noche y sentirse a salvo. Al mismo tiempo, recuerda que esto se logra con dinero p\u00fablico, proveniente de los impuestos de todos los ciudadanos.<\/p>\n

Con esta pieza,\u00a0no s\u00f3lo pretendemos crear una intervenci\u00f3n art\u00edstica, sino tambi\u00e9n sensibilizar sobre la pobreza energ\u00e9tica y demostrar que es posible generar espacios sostenibles y comunitarios sin recurrir a un alto consumo energ\u00e9tico, siempre pensando en el bien com\u00fan.<\/p>\n

La pieza estar\u00eda abierta todo el d\u00eda para que la gente pueda usarla, y por las noches, ya iluminada, podr\u00eda servir tanto como refugio urbano como escenario para actividades culturales, como conciertos o teatro de peque\u00f1o formato.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, podr\u00eda incluir elementos como cojines, sillas y mesas para hacerla m\u00e1s confortable, o dejar que los propios vecinos la habiten y adapten seg\u00fan sus necesidades.<\/p>\n

Ojal\u00e1 pronto podamos llevarla a cabo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
