A detailed description of Lightbattle III for those who are visually impaired 

Lightbattle III is an exciting and immersive experience that celebrates the joy of cycling. The installation features two interactive and illuminated arches of 13,5 x 4 meters, 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 green, blue and red lights to intensify in color. 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 enhanceaccessibility and inclusivity. Two of the bicycles have been replaced with handbikes, making it possible for everyone to join in the fun.

Let the battle begin!
