To change things for the better, greyworld created a special Sun, which spread its dawn light throughout Trafalgar Square for one day only.

Weighing 2.5 tons, and using 210,000 watts of power, the Sun illuminated the Square to give Londoners a brighter start.

The project was commissioned by Tropicana. Below are three videos that show us creating the Trafalgar Sun.

In The Clockwork Forest, we have created the first chapter of an untold fairy tale.

Just turn the key and the mechanical soundtrack will accompany your journey in to the forest.

Commissioned by the National Forestry Commission, this installation opened on the 7th October, 2011 in Grizedale, England.

Located directly in front of the Centre, the installation is over twelve metres long. Comprising of 16 polished metal rods, the artwork responds to peoples voices.

As one speaks in to one end, the artwork leaps in to life, the sculpture modelling the amplitude of the persons speech.

The Copernicus Science Centre (Polish: Centrum Nauki Kopernik) is a science museum standing on the bank of the Vistula River in Warsaw. It contains over 350 interactive exhibits that enable visitors to single-handedly carry out experiments and discover the laws of science for themselves. Many artworks have been installed in and around the Centre.

The Centre is the largest institution of its type in Poland and one of the most advanced in Europe.

Users are invited to pick up a paint bucket, and place it in the Filling Station. There, they can take their photo and see it flow in to the bucket. Once that is done, they can throw their painted face all over the wall..

Paint drips and flows across the wall, revealing the many faces of previous players.

Phones can also be used to throw paint – either by blowing, flicking or swiping on the screen. It was first shown at Nokia World, London 2010.

The installation is also featured in the TV advert for the N8. See below for more media..

greyworld tuned these railings so that when you ran a stick along them they played “The Girl from Ipanema.”

Created without permissions in cities around Europe, many versions have dissapeared. But some still remain.

To find them, all you need is a stick.

What appears to be the remains of a playing field is still visible through the overgrown grass. As people explore this area they unlock the ghostly sound of past sporting activity.

It is not clear what kind of game was played here. As they move across the warped wooden floor of the playground the sounds of the players, their encouragements and successes are woven into a gentle ambiance – all created by their motion in the area.

The playground is flanked by seating on either side. As with the playground the seating is also a gateway into retrieving the past sounds of the area. When sat or leant on, they unlock the sound of the spectators watching the game, their conversations, cheers and applause.

The installation was completed in August 1999 and is open to the public seven days a week.

Visitors to the installation space are requested to think of a word. Any word at all. They are handed a white cube, which they hold. As they speak their word in to the box, the box begins to glow with a gentle blue light.

They are then invited to explore what appears to be a large empty space, delineated by a red line around its edges. As they wander off in to this area they realise that in fact, invisible to the eye, there is a rich sonic environment to explore, full of words that are nestling amongst trees, flitting around pools of water, or hiding out in caves.

Some of these words live here permanently, and some have been dropped by people walking through the space. If the visitor wants to do this, they simply tip over their box, the light drains away, and their word falls out, living in that area for several hours, for others to discover.. When they are done, they return the box, to be filled by another word.

At first glance each object would appear to be an ordinary bollard, ubiquitous in public spaces. However, these objects have been injected with a magic serum that has transformed them into elegant music boxes. As people pass through out the space, the columns respond directly to their motion and spin gently, playing unique fragments of sound.

A matrix of lights, embedded into the columns scores the music with a series of luminous notes. Together the columns form an urban choir, or orchestra, each with their individual voices that would come together to create a harmonious musical performance, capturing people’s presence in the space. The installation creates a series of digital melodies that weave together to create a unique composition, held in the air for a brief moment.

At first glance Monument to the Unknown Artist appears to be a simple bronze statue, dressed in a neck scarf and loose fitting suit. However, the six meter monument seeks inspiration from passers-by, inviting them to strike poses which he copies, continually changing his form in a light-hearted and mischievous way. The unique sculpture offers an alternative and accessible creative experience for the public allowing them to create a dialogue with the work of art.

The Game is monument to Alfred Hitchcock in his birthplace – Leytonstone, east London. Visitors to the Jubilee Gardens come across a paved area, a space composed of flat concrete paving slabs, each in one of eight shades of grey. The participants may not be aware that the arrangement of tiles forms a cohesive whole; at a distance, from the top of a bus for example, the face of Hitchcock is clearly visible the director’s last cameo.

Sensitized slabs doted around the paved area pick up movement on their surface and produce sound events throughout the space. There are clearly rules to this game, but what are they?

Certainly, movement makes the installation come alive and the visitors soon become aware of this fact, but the interaction is not limited to a tile triggering an event. Users need to trigger a series of tiles to play and they need to collaborate with other to unlock some parts. Some elements may have their rules changed as people become aware of the sequences need to unlock them.
