Water-Towers, Salisbury Cathedral

Bruce Munro’s Water-Towers installation has opened at Salisbury Cathedral. It comprises 69 towers, each containing 216 fluted bottles full of water. Munro and his team laced 69,000 meters of optic fibre through 15,000 bottles. Together they form a watery maze that changes colour in an offset pattern, seeming to dance to a recording of the Salisbury Choir. The projectors that feed the fibre optics are powered by LEDs. Each projector has its own microprocessor, and is digitally linked to a master controller. The total energy consumption of the
installation is 240W.
