University Place, Move Fast and Brake Things
University Place, Move Fast and Brake Things
"Move Fast and Brake Things" was a signature commission for Corridor of Light. The curved surface of University Place was used as a vast canvas for a new video inspired by the first computer to store and run a programme, which was built nearby at the University of Manchester. The video was the creation of Antonio Roberts, an artist and curator whose work has featured at galleries including Tate Britain, the Barbican and the V&A. It was a dynamic, fast-paced projection exploring the comparatively innocent origins of computing and the thrill of innovation – but also how the messy and chaotic future we’re now living in may have been unforeseen.
Corridor of Light, October 2021

Corridor of Light was a three-night celebration of the Oxford Road Corridor through language, light and ideas. The aim was for visitors to explore Manchester’s innovation district as its stories were revealed by encounters with visual art, installations and live entertainment. The event was held on successive evenings; 21st, 22nd and 23rd October 2021.
