Light installation artist Bruce Munro has taken over the Eden Project. Field of Light can be seen at the Eden Project in Cornwall from 1st November 2008 - 31st March 2009. Bruce and five assistants worked over three days to install it on the grass roof of the visitor’s centre, between the Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes. It is made of 6,000 acrylic stems, through which fibre optic cables run, each crowned with a clear glass sphere. There are 11 external projectors; the stems themselves hold no electric power at all. The installation covers an area of 60 x 20 meters, using 24, 000 meters of fibre optic cable. Goes without saying that it’s best viewed after dark.
