"Art meets science" in a Dutch leek field

Is this art or science?

Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde uses light installations to suggest solutions to problems of the modern world. He's created a massive, blue and red dancing light show in a leek field - aimed at improving production and cutting pesticide use - and has developed an 'urban sun' which uses ultraviolet light to kill coronavirus in public spaces.

The result is stunning art displays... but designed to make people think and imagine.

"If we cannot imagine a better future, we will not be able to create it"
