Take a boat ride across the Thames following a laser beam that’s carrying music to the far shore. That’s the theory of this art installation that takes place through October and November, which might be really interesting, or might just be a return trip across the Thames in a boat.
The art, Sonic Ray is by Jem Finer and Artangel and is said to project the sound of Longplayer, a centuries-long piece of music, through a beam of light across the Thames between two locations linked via a short boat ride.
