L IGHT INSTALLATIONS & INTERACTIVE ART

BECOME AN ANGEL, DANCE IN THE LIGHT...

For the third year running, the Winter Lights Festival brings spectacular experiences to Canary Wharf. As a collection the pieces showcase work of some of the most inventive and exciting international artists working with light art today. Many have never been exhibited in the UK before such as Angels of Freedom that contains a deep underlying message, discouraging discrimination through interaction. OVO immerses visitors in unique and beautiful light structures whilst On Your Wavelength is a mind-powered laser and sound installation using participants’ brain activity to choreograph beautiful light patterns.

Live graffiti crafted from light is on show over the weekend of 21 and 22 January with Luma Paint Light Graffiti and Nonotak perform live on 20 and 21 January. Bringing a

further element to the fore, Water Wall uses a mist screen to interact with visitors as they create beautiful patterns on a wall of water. For contemplation, The Garden of Floating Words conjures a peaceful note giving the impression that a cluster of glowing neon words are floating in the foliage creating a poem of transience. Liter of Light draws attention to world issues highlighting the need to give light to undeveloped countries in a work co-created by local schoolchildren.

All illuminations can be discovered in an array of different locations throughout Canary Wharf - we hope you enjoy your visit.

THE GARDEN OF FLOATING WORDSELISA ARTESERO

OVOOVO COLLECTIVE

MONTGOMERY SQUARE

This large light installation comes to the UK for the first time for Winter Lights at Canary Wharf. On entering Ovo, visitors are surrounded by light and soundscapes. Its dynamic form is a combination of 24 crossed spiral pairs based on the Golden Proportion that is present everywhere in the universe, from infinitely small in the DNA helix to infinitely large in the cyclical movement of planets and galaxies. Four artists created OVO: Mostafa Hadi and Pol Marchandise (Odeaubois) designed the sculpture; Koert Vermeulen (ACT Lighting Design) conceived the lighting design and Marcos Viñals Bassols (Art Director) shaped the global scenography.

HUGE REEDSPITAYA

CROSSRAIL PLACE + CABOT SQUARE

Tall, slightly curved vertical tubes stand proudly in Canary Wharf’s environment. A light sap appears to flow slowly from the bottom to the top of each reed changing them into strange gigantic living forms. Their towering height makes the viewer feel small and plays with this scale difference.

ON YOUR WAVELENGTHMARCUS LYALL

CROSSRAIL PLACE LEVEL -3

On Your Wavelength has been developed specifically for Winter Lights at Canary Wharf. This interactive light sculpture and music installation is controlled by a participant’s mind via an EEG headset. As their thought patterns change, the electrical data from their brain is used to control the music and create intricate light patterns, which illuminate a large-scale light tunnel fitted with over 30,000 LEDs.

THE HAZE SERIES MAX PATTÉ


The inspiration behind Max Patte’s series of lightworks was a personal journey – in every sense. For the past decade, British-born Max has been working in his adopted homeland of New Zealand. During his regular travels along the North Island’s distinctive southern coastline he was captivated by the constant tuning of colour and light and began experimenting with the light genre in 2014. Haze represents his newest body of work in the series.

SELECTED WORKSAPHRA SHEMZA


Aphra Shemza is a London based media artist working with abstraction, interactivity and light. Seeking to express herself through radical new technologies, Shemza’s work explores the way in which we might use these tools to imagine what the role of art could be in the future.

The way in which the viewer responds to the work is key to how it is produced, it is through their presence that the works come to life. In using these interactive devices Shemza’s work is accessible to everyone, no matter what their age, education or background.

LIGHT MOVEMENTSNEIL SHIRREFF

CROSSRAIL PLACE LEVEL -3 + WINDOW GALLERY CANADA PLACE

Light Movements comprises a series of photograms in box-frames lit by colour changing LED lights. As the lights change our perception of the photogram’s colour and form is altered. Coloured light that had been fixed now appears indefinable, in a perpetual state of transition. The over-exposed spots of light seem to pulsate, increasing or decreasing in size depending on their fixed colour and the colour of the light cast upon them. These changes create the optical illusion of motion as the spots appear to advance and recede before our eyes.

PASSAGEBONJOUR INTERACTIVE LAB


This interactive installation interprets sound and visitor footprint by taking the form of a digital scanner, becoming a representation of the data trail that we leave behind us wherever we go. When a visitor enters Passage’s detection field they are scanned to form a 3D pixel picture accompanied by a unique noise footprint, frozen briefly in the moment before disappearing to make way for the next visitor’s data.

COSMIC RADIOPHONE INTERACTIVE AGENTS

CROSSRAIL PLACE GROUND LEVEL

Cosmic Radiophone is a large illuminated musical instrument that offers visitors the opportunity to play the sound of the Big Bang. The sound employed in this light and sonic time machine is derived from the work of Professor Mark Whittle of the University of Virginia, USA and highlights the close proximity of the cosmic to our daily existence.

UK • INTERACTIVE-AGENTS.COM

OUR SPECTRAL VISIONLIZ WEST


Luminous colour and radiant light mixed with the environment in seven large-scale prisms invite visitors to explore their relationship with colour and the science of light. By replicating the diversion of white light, pure saturated colour drenches the space to form a vivid, sensory experience. Dichroic glass is used within the structures to create a sense of movement as the viewer explores the work in greater depth.

UK • LIZ-WEST.COMCommissioned by Natural History Museum London as part of Colour and Vision: Through the Eyes of Nature.

LITER OF LIGHT MICK STEPHENSON


This installation, co-created by children from George Green’s School on the Isle of Dogs, pays homage to the distinctive pyramidal apex of One Canada Square and the Liter of Light project that brings light to places where electricity is not an option.

WATER WALL ANDREW BERNSTEIN + GREGORY ST. PIERRE

ADAMS PLAZA

Water Wall is an interactive installation that explores the relationship of movement, shape and sound through the mediums of light and water. A mist screen transforms water into a canvas for bright projections, allowing movement and sound. The images projected onto the mist screen seemingly float over the surface of the water creating a dynamically changing immersive experience.

BLOOM SQUIDSOUP

WESTFERRY CIRCUS

Imagine a thousand globes of light, each on a stalk and swaying gently in the breeze. The lights visualise waves of energy flowing across the space, responding in synchronicity to sudden changes in ambience, acknowledging the depths of winter yet anticipating a still distant spring. Additionally each node is location-aware and able to communicate, which allows it to be part of an overall coherent effect and choreography.

BIT.FALLJULIUS POPP

CHANCELLOR PASSAGE - MIDDLE DOCK

An ever-changing cascade of words derived from a live newsfeed on The Times website falls down in a wall of water. Using sophisticated technology, a series of valves open at exactly the right moment to let droplets of water fall to form letters. The words appear in mid-air, illuminated as they fall into the water below, but only perceptible for a brief moment before dissolving. All that remains are the associations formed in the viewer's mind. Julius Popp’s bit.fall has been purchased for Canary Wharf’s permanent art collection, through the auspices of Illuminate Productions.
