And finally… In Southwark, everyone can see you scream
Reading time: 1 minute
An empty office building in London is being lit up by people screaming into a Zoom video call thanks to a new interactive artwork.
Scream the House Down, by Marcus Lyall, provides a creative outlet for lockdown frustrations allowing people to join a Zoom call where you can scream, yell, shout or otherwise vocalise your feelings.
A monumental light installation instantly illuminates the building at 55 Southwark Street in response to your voice.
The louder and longer your outburst, the bigger the response from the building. The building interprets every voice and scream differently, to create a unique response for each guest.
“I created the artwork as a place to direct your frustrations and tensions, without judgement and without affecting the people around you,” said Marcus Lyall.
“I’ve used a building as a canvas to give those feelings a sense of scale.”
The artwork uses low-energy LED lights to fill the building with colour.
The installation continues until July 4. See www.screamthehousedown.com for details of how to participate.
