Always/Never – London
2012
This Autumn UVA will be presenting Always/Never, a new work that explores time and our experience of its passing. Exhibited from 14 Sept – 28 Oct as part of Let There Be Light at Gazelli Art House, the sculpture employs projected geometric patterns of light and shade, like a complex sundial.
Always/Never demonstrates how passing units of time are somewhat artificial and highly relative. The viewer’s perception of time is subtly altered by a different system of time measurement to what they have previously encountered.

Floating Point – London
2012
UVA’s latest installation Floating Point will be on public view at Aske Gardens, Hackney from dusk -10pm between 20-24 August.
The installation invites participants to enjoy a sense of motion and levity, whilst creating a spectacle of light and sound for the audience. Floating Point is effectively a musical instrument, with the movement of the performers determining how it is played. By working together, each group of participants generates a unique soundscape for the park.
UVA join artists including Jenny Sabin and Ernesto Neto as part the ‘Flyknit Collective’, an international programme of exhibitions and events curated by Neville Wakefield with the generous support of Nike.

onedotzero
2011
Commissioning a new visual identity for the festival and tour each year, onedotzero have asked UVA to create an inventive trailer sequence.
Wanting to make the elements of the motion identity entirely from light, UVA used laser technology with typographical sequences reflecting the ephemeral nature of their installation work for the upcoming festival, 23-27 Nov 2011.
Photographed by James Medcraft, the trailer sequence features specially commissioned sound created by music and sound designer Nick Ryan.
