ISE partners with Llum BCN and Alice Labourel

Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) and Llum BCN have announced their continued collaboration for the fourth consecutive year. The partnership will be showcased at ISE 2025, held from February 4-7 at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, where attendees will get an exclusive preview of the light installations of Llum BCN 25.

From February 7-9, 2025, Llum BCN will transform Barcelona’s Poblenou neighbourhood into a luminous canvas of art and technology. The annual festival, organised by Barcelona City Council, will feature light installations from fifteen professional artists and creators, as well as seventeen universities. The imaginative range of installations will include contemporary art, design and architecture, technology, and lighting design, turning the streets, squares, buildings, and parks into works of art. This year’s edition includes the chance to see artistic projects by photographer and conceptual artist Joan Fontcuberta, film director and scriptwriter Isaki Lacuesta, and the set designer, light artist and creator Laura Clos, Closca. More than 240,000 visitors saw the 2024 edition of the Llum BCN.

Visitors to ISE 2025 will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of Llum BCN 25 even before the official start of the festival. Alice Labourel (pictured), a French art director and artist known for her fusion of visual storytelling and new technologies, will showcase her piece “A Tiny Bead of Pure Life” on February 6, at 18:30 on the South Access Welcome Screen at the Fira de Barcelona Gran Via. With her background in architecture and ballet, Labourel blends drawing, 3D modeling, mythology, and nature to create works that bridge the physical and virtual worlds.

“A Tiny Bead of Pure Life” is a 15-minute animated journey through surreal, abstract landscapes inspired by nature. Its slow, reflective pace unveils tiny creatures, inviting viewers to ponder the minuteness of life. Inspired by Virginia Woolf’s novella “The Death of the Moth”, this work transforms the seemingly insignificant actions of small beings into lessons about existence.
