The Tower of London has become host to a light display with 13.8 billion years of history of "us" starting with the Big Bang and projected onto the landmark. The show lasted for 25 minutes and was held across four evenings in mid-November until this past Saturday, so if you want to visit it, I am afraid you are too late to see it on the Tower of London. The show was repeated from 5:30 until 9:30, projected every thirty minutes.
The sound and light projection included the work of poets based in the UK, live choirs, and an original score by Nitin Sawhney. The work is part of UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK, a series of ten commissions that have been touring the UK this year. This particular light show has already visited cities in Hull, Luton, Caernarfon, and Londonerry.
The event was spectacular with sound, imagery, and words coming to life. The projection may come to a location near you in the future, and I recommend to see it if it does.
