Scanning through the events list, the following caught my attention:
- 3D projections and music in the pedestrian tunnel on 13. janvāra iela connecting the old town with Stockmann department store, running 20:30 – 01:00;
- At RIXC Media Space 18:00 – 01:00 on 11. Novembra krastmala, a video installation by two British artists - Heliocentric, offering a view of Earth's orbit and rotation around the Sun;
- At the VEF area 20:00 – 03:00, a contemporary art exhibition Zero Point with 20 artists' various interpretations of this concept (I highlighted it because the VEF area spaces are, in my opinion, very well suited for contemporary art performances and exhibitions);
- At 1/4 Satori Office, Dzirnavu iela 84/2, 19:00–22:00, an opportunity to take part in Speed Dating Game 2#.
