  • Published

A giant projection-based artwork that can be seen across a waterfront has been given an extension to 22 December.

Monad - which was part of the Lightwaves Salford exhibition - is a water-based artwork featuring a 30m-wide (98 ft) video projection using a mist of water as a screen.

The public can experience the Monad free of charge from 16:00 to 22:00 GMT in MediaCity every night until Sunday.

Monad is part of the Quays Culture Programme, a partnership initiative on a mission to animate public spaces, bringing art and culture events into the heart of the community for everyone to experience.

Monad was a fan-favourite in the Lightwaves Salford Art exhibition

Created by Norweigan artist Anastasia Isachsen, the art is accompanied by a musical soundtrack by jazz composer Arve Henriksen.

There are also food outlets including food pop-ups next to the display in MediaCity for the public to enjoy.
