Volume--the most recent work by UnitedVisualArtists--is a sculpture of light and sound, an array of light columns positioned in the centre of V&A’s John Madejski Garden this winter.

That's got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The pictures don't do it justice, watch the video.

Yes, very cool! Thanks for pointing this out, fandango_matt. Sometimes it reminds me of an electronic fountain, sometimes of a Star Trek transporter room. It looks like the columns interact with the presence of visitors as well; I was wondering if there were sensors included in the installation.

Enigmatically expressive for the easily bemused.
