Yuri Tuma announced winner of the "Heineken® "Light Your Night" Challenge 2013
From Press release:
We are pleased to announce Yuri Tuma as the winner of the Heineken Light Your Night Challenge!
Heineken® "Light Your Night" officially launched last night with the help of multimedia artists Yuri Tuma, Juan Carlos Zaldivar, Clifton Childree, Brandon Opalka, and Kevin Arrow who transformed the Light Box at Goldman Warehouse into a maze of light installations! Over one thousand event attendees interacted with the impressive installations, enjoyed music by DJ Pauer and Ess + Emm and cheered to the start Miami's Art Week with Heineken product. Heineken® "Light Your Night" serving as a platform for local artists, challenged five South Florida artists to interpret Heineken Light's "Bounce" campaign through the use of light. Heineken Light's "Bounce" campaign is inspired by the "bounce" of light and how light reflects and refracts. Tasked with using light as their inspiration, the brilliant creations by each artist came to life.
A panel of judges selected Yuri Tuma as the winner of the Light Your Night Challenge and has awarded him with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Amsterdam, home of Heineken. Born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and based in Miami, Yuri Tuma's Mirr(col)or Graphic used paper, mirrors, flashlights and transparency to create an interactive art experience. "The most interesting part of working with light was thinking about how it affects darkness," said Tuma. Viewers of Yuri Tuma's installation were invited into a dark curtained off room where they would shine flashlights on the mirrors revealing pattern graphics. In the center of the mirror, the message "Find Your Light" was revealed and shadowed on the curtain behind the viewer creating a beautiful display of light and darkness while sharing a poignant message that resonated with attendees and judges alike.
