Our Beating Heart
Our Beating Heart reimagines one of nightlife’s most universal icons - the mirror ball - and reshapes it into a symbol of connection and compassion.
As the heart rotates to the beat, it scatters glimmers of light onto passing faces, couples holding hands and friends dancing under the stars. By day, it brightly mirrors its surroundings. By night, it becomes a beacon of light which immerses all of Canalside.
⏺︎ SPOTLIGHT
An iconic representation of love and unity through a mirrorball heart.
ARTIST / STUDIO BIO
Studio Vertigo is a UK-based art and design collective founded by artists Lucy McDonnell and Stephen Newby. Working with a multidisciplinary team, they create immersive light installations and sculptural interventions that respond to, integrate with - and sometimes gently disrupt - their surroundings. Each project begins as a dialogue between form and place: light as material, space as canvas, audience as collaborator.
