Detroit DLECTRICITY

Living in Michigan during the autumn season is absolutely awesome. While the weather starts to turn chilly, we all show up for our fall events. This one, called DLECTRICITY, is still pretty new. It's sponsored by a few of the big organizations here, like DTE and the DIA. Basically, it's a big outdoor light show. Projectors light ups the sides of buildings, and some of them are even interactive! There were more than 30 art installations along a three-block radius near the Wayne State campus in Detroit.

We started with some delicious Nigerian food from their outdoor eating setup and then wandered around. I'm particularly fond of the flowers, as well as the stop-motion animation of the man. Click here to see the artwork. There was also an interesting presentation about what the area looked like in the early 20th century, complete with house lantern boxes. It was really neat to see the massive marble walls of the DIA lit up with art on the outside for a change! 

I apologize if the pics aren't that great. Check out the website for better ones...


We were pretty tired after running around for hours. Hopefully, they keep this event going, as I'd like to go back again! In the meantime, I'm prepping for homecoming and slowly planning my homemade Christmas lists...
