A DREAM ...
SOME SUGGESTIONS ...
IMAGINE...
A light line
leaves from the North Pole, crosses the "lighthouse" of Blankenberge/be over the whole of France to the "lighthouse" of Palamós in Spain and continues over "Le Grand Musée d'Afrique" at Algiers to Antarctica.
How to realize that dream ?
The think tank “lightmeridian.org”
is now looking for a suitable organizing foundation to turn that dream into reality in collaboration with the think tank in the background.
The LIGHT MERIDIAN crosses through Europe, Africa and many seas.
( The antimeridian on the other side of the globe, has only water )
A MERIDIAN
Is a longitude where all municipalities have the same hour, minute and second and are therefore connected to each other at the same time.
Greenwich has Longitude 0°0'00' E or W degrees.
THE LIGHT MERIDIAN
The meridian 3°7'45" East of Greenwich has been chosen as the light meridian.

LET’S PUT TOGETHER ON IT A WORK OF LIGHT
THE LIGHTMERIDIAN:

It is a straight line of light like a lightning bolt.

DEAR ARTIST
PUT YOUR ARTWORK
OR LIGHTWORK
ON THE LIGHT MERIDIAN.
The idea and elaboration of this line is in your hands, but also in those of the municipalities involved / See the list of all municipalities on that line municipalities.
Contact the mayor of a municipality
He knows about it and expects You !
Show him this website and search with him a venue for your creation or event : a town hall , a community hall, a city park, an abandoned church, a school, etc ... Discuss your fees, costs and transport.
Send a photo of your placed work to the INFO-POINT and you will be registered on “Registered works and location”
OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE LIGHT MERIDIAN
Help to make one straight light line. There are many works of art that are never seen by the public. They rest in the cellars of ministries, art galleries or privat art-collectors. They could all be placed on the light meridian, e.g. in-situ installations both indoors and outdoors. outside desecrated churches or chapels, in community halls or parks, etc !
In collaboration with everyone, this will grow into a great lightning between the world's poles.
A LIGHT BEAM ACROSS EUROPE AND AFRICA !
