London: Signify stages the world’s longest art installation

The longest art installation in the world is to be installed on 15 bridges in London by 2022. The world leader in lighting, Signify (Euronext: LIGHT), was awarded the contract by the Illuminated River Foundation and will now light up London’s bridges with its Interact Landmark System and Philips Color Kinetics networked LED luminaires. This project will revitalize London’s famous Thames bridges for the next ten years and underscore London’s reputation as an attractive metropolis. Using the centrally controlled software, Signify will stage this project architecturally with dynamic artistic lighting effects.

The Illuminated River Foundation expects the collaboration with Signify to provide a holistic strategy for lighting all bridges. The London city centre is to be reinvented with a multi-layered visual experience for passers-by. The breathtakingly illuminated bridges can then be admired from the riverbank, from the boat, from the air and from skyscrapers. Signify Interact Landmark System will use energy-efficient LED lighting to create an unprecedented scale of public art. Signify was able to stand out for this lighting project due to its strong global presence.
