The Prairie of Possibilities

IGNITE Broward 2025

Intro

IGNITE Broward 2025, returning for its fourth year, expanded to a 10-day festival February 14-23, 2025. The Prairie of Possibilities joined spectacular displays of art, light, and technology created by more than 24 local, national, and international artists.

IGNITE Broward 2025 is presented by the Broward Cultural Division and produced by Mad Arts, with additional support provided by the City of Hollywood and Visit Lauderdale.

Layout

At Burning Man 2023, we enhanced the Prairie with a central platform, engraved with our glowing latin motto, for an elevated view of the glowing grasses.

Interactivity

To walk through the Prairie is to stroll through a metaphysical field that (for some mysterious reason) has briefly become visible to the human eye. Participants walk a gently-sloping path among swaying grasses, stroking the glowing fibers. The grass stalks are outfitted with an array of sensors that enable it to respond to participants’ behavior and demonstrate a sense of interactive ‘aliveness’. 

 

Interactive elements include the glowing Portals at the Prairie perimeter, hidden hot-spots in the platform that enable effects in the field, and the story-collector phone booths, collecting the stories that echo events back to participants in the field.
