In August 2012, NVA’s Speed of Light will transform Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh with a series of night-time events as part of the Edinburgh International Festival. Walkers and runners will activate equipment partially designed to harvest energy, animating the hillside with light. In this workshop, we’ll explore some of the challenges this project presents and investigate the technology needed by the NVA creative team in their attempt to generate enough energy to create this incredible piece of public art.
