“…The introduction of ALAN has provided significant and substantial benefits to humankind [18,19]. However, if biological systems are fundamentally shaped by light, and ALAN has changed the patterns of light in novel and extensive ways, it seems logical to predict that ALAN will have numerous biological impacts.…”

“…The Enlighten festival was thoroughly grounded in local community participation, and artistic creativity was not compromised by commercial imperatives. It serves as an instance in which light can be deployed to re-enchant nocturnal space rather than produce over-illuminated, cluttered, corporate dominance, or poorly illuminated realms, as other scholars have discussed (Entwistle et al, 2018;Isenstadt, 2018, Meier et al, 2014.…”

In this paper, we explore how a light projection sought to convey a range of qualities: conviviality, a sense of place, playfulness, defamiliarisation, and the affective and sensory capacities that were experienced through walking in the distinctive, liminal realm of Bendigo Creek in Victoria, Australia. The projection aspired to solicit a sensory and affective empathy that chimed with the experiences of an earlier event in which dozens of pedestrians were filmed walking in the creek. The projection contributed to a local campaign to reappraise the much‐maligned creek as a local public amenity. We discuss the productive potential of solitary and collective walking and, subsequently, the attributes of the projection in its static and mobile manifestation. In so doing, we suggest that publicly engaged, inclusive, creative practice can offer potent place‐making possibilities.

“…The particularities of social life after dark are a rich but widely neglected aspect of social life. 2 Only in the past decade, social dynamics, conflicts, and practices related to artificial light at night, especially in urban spaces, have received increasing attention (Challéat et al 2014;Deleuil 2009;Ebbensgaard 2015;Edensor and Millington 2009;Entwistle and Slater 2019;Green et al 2015;Jensen 2014;Meier et al 2015; Morgan-Taylor 2015; Schulte-Römer 2015; Stone 2019). 3 The two monographs make important conceptual contributions to this research by offering comprehensive and empirically rich accounts of how we perceive and interact with our environment through light.…”
