The weekend featured the dazzling PixelPyros by Seb Lee-Delisle, a 40 ft wide digital firework display where the public become the pyro-technicians. Using hi-powered projectors, lasers and motion sensors, a dazzling array of rockets are launched into the night sky with the swipe of a hand.

The event also included the Tech-Maker stall by Stuart Childs, a fun and easy way of getting the public to make their own personalised light-based artworks using simple materials and construction methods.
