                Waterloo Bridge, the longest bridge in Central London, has been enhanced by a simple line
                                                         of light

               Because of the pandemic Mr Villareal was unable to travel to the UK to
               programme the artwork in person.

               Instead he used streaming technology to view and adjust the light sequences in
               real time from his New York studio.


               It transmitted footage with less than a second in time delay and allowed him to
               fine-tune the artwork’.
