C-Scales is an audio-visual installation originally created for, and inspired by Sydney Harbour. This artwork has been reimagined for Bristol Light Festival; an array of animations will be projected onto a suspended façade of more than 1,800 CDs and DVDs. The reflections will paint the landscape and visitors with shimmering threads of light, resulting in a subtly immersive installation.
Artist Bruce Munro is a Bristol Polytechnic graduate and a world-renowned artist whose work has been exhibited worldwide from Uluru to California and beyond.
C-Scales features more than 1,800 CDs and DVDs, all of which have been recycled and reused to avoid them being thrown away.
Katherine Jewkes from Bristol Light Festival explains; “At the heart of Bristol Light Festival is a commitment to minimise our carbon footprint. As part of that, we work closely with artists to re-purpose and re-exhibit artworks, as well as premiering new work which will then have a future life on tour. C-Scales by Bruce Munro Studio shines a light on the world’s reliance on single use plastics, with the artwork itself a fantastic example of the power of reuse and recycle.”
