Had I the heavens embroidered cloth

This is probably the most amazing art work I have ever encountered. I wish I'd heard of it sooner so I could have actually gone and experienced it.

Peace Camp 2012, part of the London Festival, comprises a gathering of tents situated at various coastal areas in England. At dusk "they start to glow, pulsating with a pinkish light. If you walk among them, you begin to hear – above the batter of waves on rock – a fragmentary soundscape of poems about love, snatches of Sappho, Sophocles and Shakespeare."
