On Friday evening I attended Westminster Cathedral where the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral were is going Evenson in this Week of Christian Unity. I stayed to see some of London Lumaire - as here. Sunday I will be back at Westminster Abbey.
Westminster Cathedral
Discover how simple technology is changing thousands of lives across the world with The Rose at Westminster Cathedral. Lumiere London celebrates light in all its forms but for many people access to light is a luxury, and Mick Stephenson's installation with Electric Pedals (UK) highlights how communities can be transformed by light.
A rose window with a difference, this work is made from thousands of recycled plastic bottles transformed into beautiful illuminated art. In another twist, The Rose is powered by bicycles pedalled by members of the public. Join in and work off those Christmas calories!
Artist Stephenson explores issues relating to poverty, sustainability and climate change in his works. Filled with bottles designed during workshops with local school children, The Rose asks us to acknowledge the growing need for alternative technologies to support our everyday lives.
Stephenson's Litre of Light installation for Lumiere London 2016 attracted thousands to Central Saint Martins. He also created installations for Lumiere Durham in 2015, 2013 and 2011.

St Martin-in-the-Fields
Venture to a quiet corner of the bustling city, and you'll find a pink neon ladder shining brightly, offering a fantasy escape route. Dreamlike, it disappears into the ether above like a glowing stairway to heaven in St Martin-in-the-Fields.
Echelle is the work of Ron Haselden (France/UK), an international artist working with light, electronics, sound, film and other materials. He lives and works in London and in Plouër-sur-Rance, France.

Trafalgar Square
Encounter a cloud made up of a large number of luminous balloons, wafting in space, with Child Hood from Collectif Coin (France), co-produced by La Casemate. The balloons move gently in the wind at Trafalgar Square, introducing an element of chaos into this otherwise meticulously ordered sound and light composition.

Grenoble-based Collectif Coin produce both monumental shows and intimate installations with trans-disciplinary works focusing on the digital arts. With a strong attachment to site-specific art, the French artists explore a dreamy and somewhat naïve vision of the digital technologies that surround us in everyday life through ideas about body, sound and light.
