In the introduction, Jason Lloyd Clement examines the theme of activating historic spaces using the metaphorical and literal lighting of places. The article first discusses the activation of National Trust National Treasure Miami Marine Stadium by drawing audiences to the Miami International Boat Show in 2016, touching on specifics that include working with local artists and employing technology. The second example presented is of an installation, CityHEART, by artist Casey Milbrand at the 2013 CITY of NIGHT in Buffalo, New York. The article analyzes the siting of the installation, its meaning for the event and for the city of Buffalo, and the impact of light.
