quick explanation: every year paris puts on a
nuit blanche ("all-nighter") in early october. they open up all the museums, libraries, and public buildings, hold concerts, and invite international artists to do their thing... until dawn! and - bonus - the whole thing is
free (can you imagine? we're not just talking a projector for the city planetarium here!). naturally, the parisians love it and come out in droves. old folks that we are, knox and i stuck to the happenings in the 14th - in walking distance - and ended up checking out only two events before we got tired of the crowds.
floating sky installation at the local pool - cameras at different positions across the planet projecting the sky onto the surface of the water
everyone had to take off their shoes to get in, which was unfortunate
light installation at the tour montparnasse
complete with "ooh-ooh-wa-wa-wa" style music - it was awesome
