To celebrate and mark the arrival of the Olympic Torch on UK soil in May 2012, Shetland Arts proposes to trigger a giant ‘Mexican Wave’ of Light that ripples from the UK’s most northerly beach to London... a relay of light at the speed of sound.

Situation
This ambitious and some might say crazy project seeks to involve hundreds of thousands of people pointing torches into the night sky, turning them on and off to a given cue and in doing so, creating a massive wave of light that will be visible from space. Single fireworks will prompt participants from Shetland to the Olympic site to light and quench their torches in a relay of light at the speed of sound.
