UNITED VISUAL ARTISTS LAUNCHES MOMENTUM
2014-02-14Momentum consists of twelve pendulums that activate light and sound as they swing, drawing attention to the Curve’s vast 90m arc, inviting you to journey through the space guided by your heightened senses. Each pendulum has been meticulously designed and built using steel, aluminium, and custom electronics. The sound is individual to each pendulum, prepared and tuned to seamlessly resonate as they move within the Curve.
Momentum creates an environment that has its foundations in detailed research, sophisticated computer technology and mechanical expertise. Yet, the effect is to create a space that feels wondrously transformed, one which you are invited to experience and explore.
Exhibition runs through to June 1st, 2014
