Barcelona hosts this weekend the ninth edition of one of its most anticipated festivals,** Llum 2020**. Since Poble Nou , the great research laboratory of this festival, a whole series of light shows for the visitor to participate in a magical way in the urban space.

But, what can we see at **Festival Llum 2020**? 23 artists will use during this weekend light, movement, virtual reality and artificial intelligence to give another meaning to the public spaces of Barcelona.

“This is an opportunity to challenge our senses in a** high-intensity sensory experience** and a collective experiment to search for new models of participation and coexistence”, they point out from the Barcelona City Council.
