Pulse of light --- Noor Riyadh 2022

Pulse of Light: Connecting Riyadh Through Light at Noor Riyadh 2022

As one of the landmark installations presented during Noor Riyadh 2022: Inspiring the Future of Large-Scale Event Engineering in Saudi Arabia, Pulse of Light, created by French artist Yann Kersalé and designed with Martin Arnaud, transforms Riyadh's skyline into a unified work of public art.

Rather than occupying a single location, the installation uses laser beams to connect some of the city's most recognizable landmarks, demonstrating how light can redefine the perception of an entire urban landscape.

A City Connected by Light

Every evening, powerful laser beams are projected from several of Riyadh's iconic skyscrapers along King Fahd Road, including the Kingdom Centre, Al Faisaliah Tower, and Majdoul Tower.

These beams create visible lines across the night sky, visually linking separate buildings into a single artistic composition.

Instead of treating each building as an independent landmark, the installation presents the city itself as a connected network.

Urban Space as a Canvas

Unlike traditional public sculptures, Pulse of Light uses the entire city as its exhibition space.

The installation demonstrates how architecture, lighting, and public space can work together to create an experience that extends far beyond a single artwork.

Visitors do not simply observe an object—they experience the relationship between landmarks, skyline, and urban identity from multiple locations across the city.

Light and Urban Identity

Light has long been used to shape how cities are perceived at night.

In Pulse of Light, laser technology becomes a tool for storytelling, linking historical development, modern architecture, and public imagination into one continuous visual experience.

The installation reflects Riyadh's transformation into a global destination for culture, tourism, and contemporary public art.

Public Art at the Scale of a City

Projects such as Pulse of Light illustrate a growing trend in international public art: moving beyond individual installations to create experiences that involve entire districts and city skylines.

By integrating architecture, lighting technology, and urban planning, large-scale light festivals encourage people to experience familiar public spaces from completely new perspectives.

This city-scale approach has become one of the defining characteristics of contemporary light art festivals around the world.

Dragon Stage and the KSA Event Solution Series

As part of our KSA Event Solution series, Dragon Stage follows representative projects that combine architecture, lighting, engineering, and public space throughout Saudi Arabia.

These projects demonstrate how creative lighting, temporary infrastructure, and urban design contribute to building memorable cultural experiences while supporting the Kingdom's rapidly expanding entertainment industry.

Conclusion

Pulse of Light transforms Riyadh itself into an artistic medium.

By connecting landmark buildings through light, the installation demonstrates how contemporary public art can reshape the way people experience cities, encouraging new perspectives on architecture, urban identity, and cultural expression.
