London’s Barbican Center has commissioned the British design studio United Visual Artists (UVA) to take part in its "curve art" program to artistically occupy the rounded space behind the concert hall. Momentum is the result. This sensory manipulation installation immerses observer in light and sound, turning the corridor into a giant musical instrument of dancing pendulums programmed to move in such a way to disorient visitors, forcing them to rethink their notions of balance and space.
"Our internal model of time, movement, mass and space is based on a lifetime of experience, perhaps even genetically encoded. What happens when we build a new model? What happens when we bend the rules?"
