I
n 2015, Squidsoup (Anthony Rowe, Gaz Bushell, Chris Bennewith and Liam Birtles) created a light installation for the north porch of Salisbury Cathedral, where visitors walked through an array of thousands of individually controlled lights. Squidsoup founder and lead creative Rowe describes it as “a virtual world, where pixels on a screen are replaced by thousands of points of light floating in space that create environments, atmospheres and physical spaces you can enter, affect and immerse yourself�. The same year, Squidsoup also designed a piece of interactive wall art to celebrate the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. Power of Words was a growing display of quotes and phrases that visitors could shake and disrupt, helping put the famous tome in context today. n
