Art at the speed of light – by UVA
United Visual Artists (UVA), founded by Chris Bird, Matt Clark and Ash Nehru in 2003, are a design and architecture collective based in London, specialized in architectural and responsive installations, live performance and public art.
One of their latest adventures was the commission of Virgin Media to create a light installation on London’s South Bank named, very appropriately, Speed of Light to mark the tenth anniversary of broadband in the UK
Taking place in the Bargehouse (a raw, industrial warehouse on the South Bank of London), the Speed of Light’s goal is to explore the themes of communication and modernity. The installations dramatize the experience of using fiber-optic communication, re-imagining it as an immersive environment. More than 148 lasers were used for the installation across four floors and six rooms of the labyrinthine Bargehouse.
