Design | WIRED: Manipulating light and sound is typically a job for physicists, but every so often it’s best left to artists. To be fair, what United Visual Artists does isn’t physics exactly, but it’s pretty damn close. You can think of the London-based design collective’s work as artistic manifestation of all those brainy principles you learned back in high school. There are no head-scratching equations and formulas involved–at least none that are outwardly visible–but it’s not hard to see that UVA is adept at bending space and time.

This looks like a really cool installation. The concept of using light and sound in one movement to give each person a different emotion is amazing. Besides just the art though the UVA sounds like an incredible group of people. I really liked how they all work together to create something that reaches an audience. It is unlike traditional art when one artist connects to one person with a personal feeling. To me this kind of art that UVA is doing is true beauty.
This installation is amazing. I will say that the pictures a little misleading but the video makes it much more clear what the installation really looks like. I'm not really a fan of art installations but I would really love to experience this one. The way the light plays off the space and architecture looks really incredible and I'm sure the sound elements are just as cool. I'm sure that the pictures and video just don't do it justice. I really like seeing these kind of lighting installations and would be interested in seeing something like this live.
This looks neat. When I think of light shows of any sort, I immediately imagine color, because people are so much more likely to hold interest if color is involved. I like the simplicity of the white lights in this instillation. I'd like to be able to see what it looks like more from the perspective of a viewer, but from what I can see in the pictures in video, it looks like a very cool art piece.
I would love to be able to experience the exhibit in person -- I imagine the effect is not something that can really be transferred via video. It's a really cool idea and goal that UVA had here, to create feeling using technology that can sometimes seem so impersonal. I also really like what the article explained about UVA's work process, and how completely collaborative it is. It's a very interestingly different way to go about creation, but it definitely seems like it's working.
