Lighting Guerrilla Laboratory is the integral part of the festival dedicated to workshops and informal education of young artists. This year’s Laboratory aims to strengthen their knowledge of interactivity and smart devices. The workshop taught the participants how to use affordable micro-controllers and light/motion sensitive modules – to interact with light and sound. The participants of the workshop thus explored the possibilities to apply new interactive tools and to produce several interventions in a public space nearby Match gallery.

Kolesarnica (The Bicycle Room), which is to be found in the French Revolution square, was conceived by Marko A. Kovačič and joined guerrilla-style by the technical-practical-documentarist team of the Lighting Guerilla festival. Marko A. Kovačič thus made the bicycle room in collaboration with Jaka Kušar Jež and the LG Laboratory team to create an urban means of non-transport, while the trio fantasticus Borut Miha Borut realized the Into the Unknown project.
