AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL. Cogito ergo sum - lighting in dark times. The first light emerge after the big bang, almost 14 billion years ago, as light and matter can escape and can move freely through the space. Light gives heat, safety.....the possibility to grow ... but light also ensures that we humans can communicate with each other. Communication is a essential part in the development and survival of humanity. In times of sickness and in health. For example in the 18th century, at the time of emergence of the Enlightenment. It was a response to the dogmatic faith of authority. The Enlightenment is seen as one of the pillars of Western civilization and put major changes to start of thinking about religion, philosophy, art, science and politics. She comes up for a division between Church and State and is based on justice and democracy. Cogito Ergo Sum - I think, therefore I am - is a philosophical statement of Rene Descartes. The ruling is the foundation for the Enlightenment. Surviving truths can prove to be false, and also your own perception can cheat you. You wonder how you can know something for sure. The simple fact that you doubt, implies that you exist. THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE: The big bang. A flashing light. Symbol for the birth of our solar system. Light as the source of our existence. Followed by an explosion of knowledge. Lighting. The word. The reason. Cooperation. The core of our existence. Made visible in a construction built up like a beacon. A beacon of light in the uncertain current time.
