Greenwich, London. In 1992 I conceived the idea of a laser originating at the Greenwich Observatory designating the meridian line which crosses the Thames three times. I worked with artist/architect, Peter Fink, to realise the project and the laser was switched on with a huge event of numerous vessels, over 100 musicians, projections, the Thames fire brigade boat with spraying hoses and a lightning machine used in feature films to simulate storms, as well as a remote control model helicopter spewing smoke into the laser. The projection surfaces included the power station façade on the South Bank, the fine spray from the fireboat and the sails of yachts from the Greenwich sailing club. There were several other barges with various events including one with 20’ high poles covered in paraffinned cloth set alight as it floated across. |
