In honor of ten years of light art, there will be movement, interactivity, projection, and color.

It is currently one of Southwark, UK’s most well-known light art festivals.
The date is Tuesday, January 20–Saturday, January 31, daily.
Which installations are interactive at this year’s Dreamscape theme?
Canary Wharf’s 2026 Downtime Lights jubilee adopts the” Dreamscape” theme, emphasizing surreal, immersive light art with several explicitly interactive installations encouraging caller engagement from January 20- 31.
Crucial interactive pieces include stir- responsive puppets replying to crowd movement, likely” Chasing the Light” zones where gestures spark slinging protrusions across wharf walls and touch- actuated displays blending physical commerce with luminous feedback.
These align with Dreamscape’s morality of” participated humanity,” situating interactivity as core to 16 aggregate installations from British, French, Dutch, and Palestinian artists. Anticipate family-friendly rudiments like shadow- play walls and AR- enhanced puppets viewable via jubilee app, running 5- 10 pm nocturnal alongside static glowing balls and skyline protrusions.
