ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Originally created in London during lockdown via a Zoom call, this large-scale light installation was activated by the sound of people’s voices, which illuminated an entire building.
Taking centre stage at an iconic Bristol building, it offered the chance for visitors to the festival to light up The Corn Exchange on Corn Street in a sea of colour as this monumental light installation responded to their voice: The louder and longer the outburst, the bigger the response from the building. The installation interpretated every voice and scream differently, to create a unique response for each person.
Bristol Light Festival is by Bristol City Centre Business Improvement District (BID). Their aim is to bring colour, light and play to Bristol city centre spaces through a range of events featuring installations from local and internationally renowned artists.
With thanks to Bristol’s City Centre & High Streets Recovery and Renewal programme, which is funded by Bristol City Council and the West of England’s Combined Authority’s Love our High Streets project, with the aim of supporting the recovery of Bristol’s priority high streets.
