1 - LED lights shone onto the river and were conducted via Twitter.
- Animation displayed a series of waves and the light effect was controlled by participants tweeting #male #female #nonbinary.
- The most tweeted hashtag determined the colour of the light.
- The Pharos LPC received over 800 data hits with approximately 40% #female, 31% #male, 23% #nonbinary and 6% were a random hashtag, #disco (which unfortunately did not impact the lighting).
- Using lighting as a tool to engage people with an imaginative exercise about the remembrance of women’s role in writing history.
