Lightbattle III - Artwork at River of Light Liverpool 2024 | VisitLiverpool

About Lightbattle III

Lightbattle III is an exciting and immersive experience that celebrates the joy of cycling. The installation features two interactive arches of light, with six bicycles each other from opposite sides. Participants hop on and pedal as fast as they can, with the speed of their cycling causing the lights to intensify in colour. The fastest cyclist is rewarded with a dazzling burst of light, adding to the thrill of the competition.

For the Liverpool exhibition, the installation has been specially adjusted to enhance accessibility and inclusivity. Two of the bicycles have been replaced with hand bikes, making it possible for everyone to join in the fun.

Let the battle begin!
