The English Channel was transformed into a giant canvas in the early hours of this morning as a giant Olympic laser show was launched.

Luminous green light patterns were projected over Weymouth Bay in Dorset, in what will be the UK’s first ever permanent, unmanned and probably the largest laser light art installation in the country.

The lasers were tested for the first time last night, three years after artists Claire Oboussier and Vong Phaophanit started work on the art installation.

Amazing effects: The projection will make viewers see Weymouth Bay in a new light

‘The public will be able to see up to seven lasers projecting light patterns directly into and over the sea the sea in Weymouth Bay,’ said Claire.

‘Its more Regency than Rock, the bay for us was a giant canvas and the display will be of a more gentle nature with slower transitions as the different lasers change in turn and provide a totally different show depending on where you are watching from.’

The lights will be visible anywhere in or around the Georgian seafront.

Vong who came from Laos added, ‘They will look totally different on clear nights, rainy nights or misty nights as the moisture in the atmosphere helps to provide some amazing effects.’

Testing testing: Technicians were trying out the lighting system in the early hours of this morning, before its launch in May

Vong and Claire were in town specially to see the first run but had to wait patiently in one of the Victorian sea front shelters until 1am in the morning before the engineers could complete the installation and upload the artist’s software to each laser.

The project was funded by the Arts Council and is part of the Cultural Olympiad for the country.

The powerful lasers are linked by radio and special software has been loaded onto each of their control units so the seven lasers are synchronised for the displays that will go ahead each night from around 9pm. The shows will last about six minutes and then go off for six minutes.

The collaborative artists Claire and Vong also designed the seven different coloured 40-foot towers that the lasers are mounted on.

They have been installed on the esplanade in a semi-circle and the lasers project their patterns directly from them into the Bay area.

Slow transitions: The laser pattern will change continuously throughout the six minute display

I’ve been to Weymouth. The view over the bay was spectacular. That was before these idiots started shining their lights all over it. I’m glad I saw it when it was unspoiled. Now I’ll have to find other unspoiled parts of Britain before some idiot wastes money and much needed electricity defacing them. I won’t be going back to Weymouth. The message is simple: It’s fine like it is. It doesn’t need your input. Stop messing.
