V&A Friday Late
From Friday Late at London's V&A held on the last Friday in every month starting at 18.30.
First, a vertical light box on which people can write ideas about destiny, romance and conquests.
Then, Volume, an installation which responds to movement. After a disorderly wait in the rain it was a rushed wander through the pillars of LED lights - which also housed loud speakers. The patterns responded to peoples' movement but it was difficult to make out with so many people. This would have been excellent as a solitary experience.
Volume is a collaboration between design collective United Visual Artists and Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack and co-writer Neil Davidge (as part of their music production company, one point six).

looks kinda cool.
went to a thing called angels in bath abbey last year... there were scrreens with images that were intended to react and behave according to where you were in the space...
with the volume of people in the space it didn't work... these sorts of installations as a thoroughly pleasing event are still a little way off i reckon...
still... it looked pretty vibey from your footage.
