“SPARK”是荷兰艺术家和创意人Daan Roosegaarde于2022年Greenwich+Docklands国际艺术节（GDIF）推出的新作品，其宗旨是利用21世纪的环境可持续技术，在为观众带来积极感受的同时，创造人们与当地遗产的联系。

On the opening weekend of Greenwich+Docklands International Festival 2022 (GDIF), Dutch artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde unleashed SPARK. Drawing on 21st century environmentally sustainable technology, SPARK promises to inspire audiences in 2022, whilst creating connections with local heritage.

SPARK是一场“有机的”烟花表演，使用了数以千计的可生物降解灯，它们以自由的状态漂浮于50米的高空，从数英里之外也能看见。SPARK随着气流自然地上升或下降，谱写出一首动态的视觉之诗，唤醒了人与自然之间相互联系的感受。SPARK还为各种需要利用灯光增强氛围的庆祝活动提供了一种可持续的方案——不论是奥林匹克仪式、除夕夜或是篝火晚会。

An organic firework performance that uses thousands of biodegradable lights that organically float through the air, SPARK rises to a height of 50 metres and will be visible for miles around. Rising and falling on natural air currents, SPARK is visual poetry in motion, purposefully designed to invoke feelings of interconnectedness between humans and nature. It also provides a sustainable alternative for communal celebrations that want to harness the visual power of light whether in the context of events such as the Olympic Ceremonies, New Year’s Eve or Bonfire Night.

SPARK的设计灵感源于萤火虫、鸟群与银河所散发的神奇光芒。设计者Daan Roosegaarde通过他的作品邀请伦敦市民躺在地毯或靠垫上观赏这场表演，共同见证SPARK在夜空中升起的令人惊叹的一幕。

SPARK is inspired by the magical lights of fireflies, flocks of birds and galaxies of stars, SPARK’s creator Roosegaarde invites Londoners to lie back on cushions and blankets to witness the majestic rise of SPARK through the night skies above.

“我们在珍惜传统的同时也需要不断地使其现代化，从而为之赋予新的内涵。”Daan解释到：“在这样的历史背景下展示一场当代的有机烟火秀，体现了一种全新的、具有可持续意义的独特美感。”

“We want to cherish traditions but we need to keep modernising them to be relevant,” Daan added. “To show contemporary organic fireworks in this historical context is a true honour and shows the beauty of a new, sustainable celebration.”

Greenwich+Docklands国际艺术节（GDIF）是伦敦一年一度的节庆活动，在18天的时间里，观众们可以免费欣赏到丰富的艺术、戏剧、舞蹈和马戏表演。在谈及为何选择SPARK作为节日开幕秀时，GDIF艺术总监Bradley Hemmings MBE表示：“GDIF一直致力于展现格林威治和东伦敦不断发展的故事，精彩的大型表演也一直是其中的一个重要部分。因此，我非常荣幸能够邀请到Daan Roosegaarde在GDIF进行SPARK的英国首演，这项作品提醒着我们去领会与自然构建连接的重要性，以及这种令人敬畏和惊奇的力量是如何将我们聚集在一起。”

Festival-goers will be able to enjoy SPARK at GDIF, London’s annual free festival of art, theatre, dance and circus that transforms public spaces across Greenwich and East London for 18 extraordinary days of FREE events. Speaking about why he chose SPARK to open GDIF, GDIF’s Artistic Director Bradley Hemmings MBE explained:  “GDIF has always set out to reflect the evolving story of Greenwich and East London and large scale spectacle has always been part of this. I’m therefore hugely honoured that Daan Roosegaarde’s SPARK will receive its UK premiere at GDIF, reminding us of the importance of our connection with the natural world, and the power of awe and wonder to bring us together”. 

Daan Roosegaarde的作品受到世界范围内的关注。在中国，他的“雾霾净化项目”（Smog Free Project）使用7米高的净化塔来吸收城市内部的空气，并利用收集到的碳来制作戒指。
