United Visual Artists are a British-based collective whose current practice spans permanent architectural installation, live performance and responsive installation. Their 'Array' installation is a field of columns set in the courtyard of the Chuya Nakahara Memorial Museum in Southern Japan.

From their
website: "The columns create a field of light and sound which gently shifts in response to the viewers’ movements, via a hidden network of ultrasonic sensors. Each column is lit by a pure, shimmering white light. This forest of light calls you in, and its response to your movement invites you to explore. Inside the grid lives a spirit, in the form of a single pure red light. This spirit is timid but often playful, revealing itself boldly then disappearing."

The installation is a really interesting way of getting people to interact with space and uses of all of their senses. It must be pretty cool when it is pitch black and you only have the noise and the lights to guide you through this "forest".
