spectra

Since the evening memorial service at Westminster Abbey on 4 August, the London sky has been lit by spectra, a huge column of intense white light. It will shine from dusk until dawn for seven nights as part of the national commemorations marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War.

spectra, by Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda, is located in Victoria Tower Gardens, adjacent to the House of Lords. It can be experienced throughout London simply by looking up to the sky. The public are also invited to visit the installation and experience the accompanying sound composition of pure sine waves.

spectra is produced and presented by Artangel and co-commissioned by the Mayor of London and 14-18 NOW, WW1 Centenary Art Commissions.
