Fantastic – would love to have this more often. Very peaceful."
It is a light and sound installation where participants will immerse themselves into a giant pool of light. Coloured clouds hover over the water, gently changing as people float, swim and play.
The lights and music create a wondrous experience of immersive artwork, accessible through a mixture of daytime sessions, that are playful for families, and evening sessions that are rejuvenating and relaxing for adults.
The installation was originally commissioned as part of the London, 2012 Cultural Olympiad. It was awarded the Inspire Mark, a 2012 Olympic initiative, which was a community and participatory programme that enabled non-commercial organisations across the UK to link their events and projects to the London 2012 Games.
