Winter Lights Festival at Canary Wharf

For the next week, London's Canary Wharf is aglow with a series of amazing art installations that range from this 18-foot-tall alien. (Fantastic Planet, by Amanda Parer) .......

.....to butterflies in a rainbow of colours (On the Wings of Freedom, by Aether & Hemerea)....

....................and a digital waterfall spelling out words.  (Bit.Fall by Julius Popp).
Artists from four continents have created 18 sculptures, many of which are interactive. So you can stand on the touchpads of The Pool, by Jen Lewin, and watch the colours change (below),

or put your hand into Aura (2014) (below) to create sound to go with the lights. 

The free festival runs until Jan 22, 2016 and is best seen between 4 and 9pm.
