speed of light virgin medias laser light installation by united visual artists has finally opened. uva were commissioned by virgin media to create 'an immersive light installation celebrating 10 years of broadband in the uk'. it comprises a series of laser-based experimental light works which flow through the labyrinthine spaces of the bargehouse, the four-storey ex-warehouse on london's south bank. on entering the space, visitors are asked to speak into a suspended microphone to answer questions displayed on the wall in front of them. their answers follow them around the building as they explore the various installations over four floors. these sounds and others, as well as light, are carried around the building using fibre optics, thus tying in with the broadband theme. see a video of the installation here.

brightons west pier on wednesday february 10 2010, brighton's west pier was lit up in the most spectacular fashion by a nifty rig of lasers... the laser installation entitled 'a pier appears' was the first in a series of events curated by josef valentino and commissioned by tiger beer to celebrate chinese new year. this particular spectacle was for one night only and the piece was created by french lighting studio creatmosphere - who used computer-controlled lasers for the project, which - by all accounts - stopped traffic and drew a crowd on the beach, despite a brief snowy blizzard which, as the next image attests, added nicely to the project: turns out snow falling through laser beams looks pretty amazing...
