Come down to the Southbank to see Wind to Light, a brand new installation that beautifully illustrates alternative, sustainable ways of harnessing energy.

Hundreds of tiny wind turbines generate the power to illuminate hundreds of mounted LEDS, creating firefly-like clouds of light.

Finally Art and sustainability merged! I have been looking for this for some time and you built the site! I would love to contribute with fibre arts. what do you think? maybe build a link so that kids could find a way to recall on nature as their source. Susan I love this site!

I saw the video on their website, it was amazing. http://www.thelondonoasis.com/view_film.html So I went and visited the site in Clerkenwell on Sunday 25 June (nice and quiet because the footie was on) because on Saturday it was crowded. It was breath taking, apparently you can buy one if you have £100,000 GBP handy. According to the guy at the site it will probably go on tour to Leeds etc to promote Chetwoods arhitectural company.
