the United States or New Year\u2019s Eve in Northern Europe, fireworks have been an event staple for centuries. But in these climate-conscious times, it is hard to ignore the fact that the joyful displays also cause environmental harm: Traditional fireworks have been known to ignite wildfires, and the colorful explosions rain down plastic particles, unburnt propellants, and metal by-products (used as colorants) across vast swaths of land and water. Those synthetics are nonbiodegradable and dangerous to the animals that inadvertently ingest them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\" style=\"object-fit:cover;object-position:50% 50%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1250\" src=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-107298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/metropolismag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SPARKMelbourneLandscape1_M-1536x960.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Courtesy Daan Roosegaarde<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Seeking to rectify this problem while preserving the tradition, Dutch installation artist Daan Roosegaarde has succeeded in turning a mass of naturally glowing and biodegradable materials into an entertaining display called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.studioroosegaarde.net\/project\/spark#:~:text=Artist%20Daan%20Roosegaarde%20became%20inspired,organically%20float%20through%20the%20air.\">SPARK<\/a>, which behaves like atmospheric bioluminescence and dances like fireflies or bird murmurations\u2014both of which his team studied for inspiration. Composed of thousands of individual light particles, a cloud spanning roughly 164 by 98 feet forms in the air and gradually swarms out of shape, following wind patterns. The only fireworks-like feature missing is the classic boom. But crowds still experience the same level of awe and wonder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"size-regular\">Roosegaarde has taken this light show on tour, staging it for festivals and conferences in cities such as Bilbao, Spain; Melbourne, Australia; and Amman, Jordan. SPARK has emerged as a new celebratory medium. He says, \u201cIt shows the beauty of a better world, combining design and nature to create a place of wonder.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"comment size-regular\">Would you like to comment on this article?
