In December 2006 The Light Surgeons produced and curated a cross-disciplinary art exhibition on the south bank that was commissioned by Nokia Nseries. Articulated was a group show that brought together a cross section of artists from different practices and organisations to transform London’s OXO Barge House with a series of media art installations, a cinema space, talks and creative interventions into the surrounding area.
Articulated explored our relationship to space with a collection of commissioned and curated works that engaged with the public through interviews and debate. Each of these works investigated a different aspect of the human condition through the real or imagined boundaries of our everyday lives. It was a truly unique collaboration which explored the thresholds between public and private space, unraveling a multitude of human stories.
