United Visual Artists is an art and design collective based in London that creates interactive installations combining sculpture, architecture, performance, moving images and digital technology. Their installation VOLUME from 2006 consists of 48 sound-emitting columns that respond to audience movement, creating unique experiences. UVA explores spatial and temporal relationships in public spaces and how audiences collectively influence the environment through shared experiences. Their works draw from studies of artists like Rothko and Turrell while hiding advanced technology.
