Jason Bruges Studio: North-South Over East-West

During the London 'Switched On' Festival in 2008 the Jason Bruges Studio installed a temporary interactive light across London Bridge.

'On the pavement where people usually leave only footprints, for the duration of the festival they left coloured light ‘shadows’ as evidence of their passing. The intent was to reawaken commuters, encouraging them to be aware once more of the joys of crossing the Thames on their way to work.' - Jason Bruges Studio
