This summer, art installation "Enlightenment" is located at Salisbury Cathedral. The installation uses light and sound and is created by Squidsoup. The installation celebrates 800 years of the Magna Carta, and it is installed at Salisbury Cathedral because one of the remaining copies of the document can be seen in the cathedral.
The artwork is made from over 6,000 strands of lights. Visitors can walk amongst the suspended lights, which continuously fade into a different colour.
The idea behind this artwork is the 'ripple effect' that the Magna Carta had on the country and the influences as they spread around.
The above photographs show pink and purple colours, but I also watched at the bulbs changed to red, orange, yellow, blue, and green and various shades of those colours.
