Posted April 16th 2010 under Installations, Kinetic, Light
Last week opened Speed of Light, a series of installations by United Visual Artists commissioned by Virgin Media to celebrate “the tenth anniversary of broadband in the UK”.
Located in the warehouse style building Bargehouse, just behind the main OXO Tower Wharf London.
I took a couple of photos, but there are much much nicer ones on Creative Review blog.
Following on from their work for the Y-3 Fashion Show, UVA have used software controlled lasers to create sculptural forms of light that define objects, animate through the space and bounce off mirrors.
The work isn’t as interactive or as responsive as some of their other installations (aside from answering questions and it using fragments of your voice through the building), but what it lacks in interaction feedback, it makes up for with plenty of atmosphere and the wonder of the experience itself.
I won’t describe what each installation throughout the building does, if you are interested read a walk through on Creative Review & Sermads Blog.
You only have until this Monday 19th April to see the show, and I highly recommend that you get to see it if you can. Any photos or video will never show it in its true form.
