Commissioned by Virgin Media, UVA created Speed of Light to celebrate 10 years of broadband internet in the UK. For 10 days in April, this installation will take over all four storeys of the industrial art-space Bargehouse. Visitors are invited to immerse themselves in a massive network of laser sculptures, built on the idea of speed being light, and light being data.

Currently a practicing artist HETAIN PATEL graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2003 with a BA(hons) in Fine Art. Following brief freelance commercial photography work in fashion and music, his career as an artist began in 2004 when his first residency at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre in North Lincolnshire culminated in his first solo exhibition.

Join us in the Sackler Center Digital Studio on Wednesday 19 May for the next session of the Digital Drop-in Afternoons.
Drop in and meet artists Ruth Gibson and Bruno Martelli, chat with them about their work and see 'show and tell' presentations of digital design.

The Bright Sky is an exhibition containing a new sort of paintings - Photonpainting.

Pitch Control is a fully-playable instrument/art installation that invites the public to explore audiovisual possibilities. A keyboard controls a projected choir of 25 singers and each note on the keyboard - replaced by recorded singing - causes a different singer's image to appear projected in the room. A dynamic visual composition is built up as the instrument is played. The singers' faces are projected onto a group of identical shapes, to form a ghostly disembodied choir.

Pich Control was first seen at The Science Museum’s Dana Centre as part of Takeaway Festival May 19th-30th 2009.
