We Wanted to be the Sky by Tim Etchells is sited on the pier at Bernie Spain Gardens. American songstress Cat Power's evocative song lyric is picked out in colour lightbulbs.

An Encounter with the Supernatural is Imminent by Tai Shani, in her Orpheum Theatre outside BFI, is a live holographic performance of a psychedelic story about an actress who cannot awake from a never-ending dream. The performances will be taking place from 2-4pm and 6-8pm on both days.

Postapocadylic Circuits by Jim Woodall & Brian Random outside Tate Modern is constructed from stretched vinyl billboards, cut down from their hoardings and collaged into a triple sunrise, that loosely resembles Piccadilly Circus after the apocalypse.

Unfortunately due to unforseen circumstances Dan Coopey's Untitled (Box Light) will not be at the festival this year.

These ground-breaking pieces have been commissioned by up projects in partnerhsip with Shangri-La, Glastonbury Festival with support from Arts Council England.
