‘Vanishing Point’ employs perspective as both tool and visual aesthetic to re-shape, re-define and re-present an undefined area.
The immersive installation by United Visual Artists is executed using lasers which send lines through space from an arbitrary vanishing point, resulting in the creation of different volumes, divisions and rooms. drawing on the sketches of Leonbattista Alberti, Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer, the London studio continues their exploration of  ‘Light architecture’, exemplifying the concept of perspective through the use of white laser diodes (RGB) piercing through the selected environment via a pangolin system–changing the viewer’s outlook on the concrete boundaries of space. You can experience the ‘Lasers in Perspective’ at the ‘Olympus OM-D: Photography Playground‘ exhibition in Berlin, on now until may 24th, 2013.

Other projects:

‘High Arctic’, commissioned by the national maritime museum in london. as part of the program, UVA’s matt clark ventured to the Arctic’s archipelago Svalbard to understand, visualize and gain insight on the steadily vanishing region. In response, the research and information gathered compelled the collective to create an experience which guides users through a simulated occurrence of the effects climate change is having on the glaciers.

The monumental framework is set in 2100 AD, whereby visitors explore the arctic through an abstracted landscape composed of light,
sound and 3000 sculptural ‘glaciers’–each individually named after an existing one — which are projected to melt by the end of this century.
