On Wanting
On Wanting by artist Helena Hamilton will go live on CCA's website on Tuesday 6 September, 10am. Join us online for this interactive Public Programme event. Helena invites you to alter your environment through the light and sounds emitted from your screen. Using your digital devices, you can experience this work in your own home using a laptop, TV screen or smartphone. The larger the screen and darker the space, the greater the colour will have on your physical environment.
