Noor Riyadh 2024, the world\u2019s largest light art festival and a flagship program of Riyadh Art, concluded its fourth edition with a special Guinness World Records\u2122 Titles Award Ceremony<\/strong> at King Abdulaziz Historical Center, celebrating two new record-breaking achievements<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These additions bring Noor Riyadh\u2019s total Guinness World Records\u2122 Titles to 16<\/strong>, building on the 14 records earned in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two new records achieved this year are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Longest Distance Covered by a Laser Light in a Laser Show<\/strong><\/a>
    Higher Power<\/em><\/strong> by UK-based artist Chris Levine<\/strong> set this record with a 1kW laser projected from the 267-meter Al Faisaliah Tower<\/strong>. The installation featured four beams extending in all directions across Riyadh, visible even against the city\u2019s lights. The laser encoded the word \u2018Salaam\u2019, meaning \u2018peace\u2019 in Arabic,<\/em> in Morse code, an embodiment of Levine\u2019s philosophy of light as a medium for spiritual connection, unity, and reflection. Known for his groundbreaking work with light and sound, Levine has exhibited at institutions such as MoMA in New York. Levine\u2019s works, including immersive installations like Light is Love<\/em> (also at Noor Riyadh 2024), highlight his ability to blend advanced technology with profound emotional and sensory experiences, redefining the role of light in contemporary art.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Largest Illuminated Recyclable Material Sculpture of a Pyramid<\/strong>
    The Fifth Pyramid<\/em><\/strong> by Saudi artist Rashed AlShashai<\/strong> achieved this record with its 28-meter-high structure constructed from sustainable materials<\/strong>, including scaffolding and green petrochemical shipping pallets. The pyramid features a striking fuchsia-lit central walkway, symbolizing Saudi Arabia\u2019s transformation into a hub of creativity and innovation. AlShashai\u2019s work often reimagines everyday objects to explore cultural and societal themes. With over two decades of experience as an artist and educator, his work has been showcased internationally, including at the Pyramids of Giza and Art Dubai, making him a significant figure in contemporary Saudi art.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These accomplishments reflect Noor Riyadh\u2019s dedication to pushing creative and technological boundaries while fostering a deeper connection between communities and the transformative power of art and light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Architect Khalid Al-Hazani, Executive Director of Riyadh Art, said: <\/strong>\u201cAchieving two more Guinness World Records Titles at Noor Riyadh is a testament to the transformative power of art and creativity. We are proud to see Noor Riyadh continuing to inspire and unite people through the universal language of light.\u201d

    Nouf Almoneef, Festival Director of Noor Riyadh, added:<\/strong> \u201cThe scale and creativity of this festival are unparalleled, and these records underscore its global significance as a landmark event in the world of contemporary art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This achievement highlights Riyadh\u2019s position as a global cultural hub and reflects the incredible talent and dedication of the artists and curators who brought this vision to life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Curated by Dr. Effat Abdullah Fadag and Dr. Alfredo Cramerotti, Noor Riyadh 2024 was held across three hubs: King Abdulaziz Historical Center, JAX District and Wadi Hanifah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The fourth edition featured over 60 artworks by more than 60 artists from 18 countries, transforming the city into a vibrant, open-air gallery that engaged millions of visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The festival has become a cornerstone of Riyadh\u2019s cultural calendar, demonstrating its commitment to creativity, innovation, and cross-cultural dialogue, all in alignment with Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
