The project was designed to celebrate the completion of the Docklands
Light Railway mass transit system. The implementation of the project
has involved the light and electronic transformation of four key
buildings, Canary Wharf tower and a railway viaduct. The complex
electronic programming ensured that the light installations responded
to the movement of the computer-operated trains. The practical implementation
has involved extensive consultations with the Railway Inspectorate
and the emergency services. The funding of this project has involved
a consortium of fifteen sponsors. The installation was active for
a period of four weeks and has attracted considerable number of
visitors.
As a part of the outreach programme local schools were involved
in the trans-formation of seven stations in a visual arts project
that has been enthusiastically received both by the users of the
railway and by the local community.
