I went up to London for the day today, I met up with my friends, Mike, Claire, Evelina, and Sophie at London Bridge near the spike thing. Whilst waiting I spotted two (ex-)managers from my work which was strange.
We went to Borough market and had a nice lunch sat down in the grounds of Southwark Chuck. Then we walked down the river to The Barge House, at the OXO Tower where UnitedVisualArtists were showing off thier latest light installation. This one was in partnership with Virgin Media to celebrate 10 years of broadband in the UK.
The show has various elements and the idea is that your voice is captured at the begining and heard throghout, I didn’t think this aspect was particularly interesting/well done but the rest was amazing, specially the bit I’ve dubbed ‘The Laser Lounge’ (above) and the final room before you leave which is a vast space filled with a short laser show.
Although it was quite a big space there was not much to see, however I certainly would like to go again if only it wasn’t finishing on Monday afternoon, if you have not yet seen it I highly recommend you get down there ASAP because it closes (as before) on Monday afternoon.
On a side note, it was really nice to see an advanced preview of the exhibition space which we will be using for this years 3rd year students. I only wish that we could have had this space for our show because it is far nicer than The Old Truman Brewery.
