About this audio guide
This guide to Noel Feerique in Colmar centers on nineteen ninety-six, when a lighting designer and an engineer tackled an unusual problem: how to make lights across the old town change together without wiring a whole new network. It follows their solve, tied to the same system that still powers Colmar's nightly light shows and the seasonal fairground on the Champ de Mars. You will hear who was behind it and how the project was received. Best heard where the fairground lights glow overhead.
