Speed of Light Exhibition London

Speed of Light installation
Immersive and interactive, the specially created light installation has been placed over four different levels of the Bargehouse by the renowned light artists to mark the ten year anniversary of broadband being available to everyone in Britain. Commissioned by Virgin Media, the installation explores the nature of speed, efficiency, communication and modernity, and encourages visitors to get up close and personal with its lights.

Interactive journey
As the Speed of Light installation takes over the building, it forces people to interact with the light sculpture as they journey through it. By creating another of their spectacular pieces of light and laser based art, the United Visual Artists are placing the spectators at the heart of the experience, rather than making them simply obvservers.

United Visual Artists
The London based art and design practice that is the United Visual Artists have a reputation for creating unusual and unique light installations across the city. Their work tends to be inspired by a space or an architectural feature that their light installation can work with, specifically relying on public interaction to bring certain elements of the creation to life. Alongside the Speed of Light installation at Bargehouse, UVA have also created work for Covent Garden Market and the Victoria and Albert Museum's John Madejski Garden.

The Speed of Light installation at Bargehouse, Southbank, takes place from 11am - 7pm, Friday 9th April - Monday 19th April 2010. Entrance is free.
