An analogy that we at\u00a0PureHoney\u00a0appreciate also makes sense as a way to think about an event in our backyard: the\u00a0IGNITE Broward\u00a0festival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Broward County\u2019s tech-forward, spatially ambitious happening, which turns five this year, unites multimedia works, people and environments in a kind of honeycomb of creative synthesis.\u201cFestivals like IGNITE allow us to broaden the reach of the arts and give both locals and visitors a deeper appreciation for the role technology plays in creative innovation,\u201d says\u00a0Phil Dunlap, director of\u00a0Broward Cultural Division, the festival\u2019s sponsor and organizer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">IGNITE Broward expands to four locations for 2026, including\u00a0Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, auguring an even bigger sense of scale and greater accessibility to its many exhibitions and immersive installations. At IGNITE Broward mainstay\u00a0MAD Arts\u00a0in Dania Beach,\u00a0Guillaume Marmin\u2019s\u00a0cosmic, data-driven work will pull celestial rhythms down to earth, and\u00a0Weidi Zhang\u2019s\u00a0AI-infused environments morph through human interaction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">During the festival\u2019s ten days in February, also keep your antennae up at MAD Arts for poetic digital narratives by\u00a0Darius Daughtry\u00a0or sound-reactive collaborations of\u00a0Homegrown Visuals + Akomi. At new IGNITE Broward locations \u2014\u00a0Reverend Samuel Delevoe Memorial Park\u00a0in Fort Lauderdale and\u00a0ArtsPark at Young Circle\u00a0in Hollywood \u2014 look for expansive outdoor works by the likes of\u00a0Daniel Popper,\u00a0Pneuhaus,\u00a0Studio McGuire, and\u00a0ITHACA Studio\u00a0as they transform shared public spaces into luminous ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p>The festival\u2019s array of projection mappings, light sculptures, audiovisuals and less easily categorized creations really have to be experienced in person. In past years, you could have found yourself becoming part of the work as waves of shifting color danced around you, or as sound ricocheted through open air, with some installations seeming to speak directly to you in moments of solitude. Everywhere you go at IGNITE Broward, participation reshapes perception.<\/p>\n<p>IGNITE Broward takes place February 13\u201322, 2026 in Dania Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Hollywood, with daily public hours varying by location.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/ignitebroward.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ignitebroward.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Liked it?
