Meridian will shine light over Hull City Hall and Whitefriargate using four powerful lasers.

Oracle is an eight-metre lighthouse that will float in Prince's Dock and which takes real-time readings of wind speed, temperature and rain to highlight the importance of weather to navigation at sea.

Zenith is a series of kinetic sculptures in Queen Victoria Square that create an immersive sonic seascape.

And Pendopo is a sound and laser installation containing a robotic musical instrument that will stand in Trinity Square.

The installations will be illuminated from dusk until 9pm each evening.
