Odyssey, an interactive light display, in front of the iconic Blackpool Tower, on the seafront in Blackpool, Lancashire, UK


Odyssey is a spectacular interactive display co-created by international designer Jack Irving in collaboration with a highly-talented team of computer scientists from Lancaster University. The full Odyssey experience, which has been manufactured at the Blackpool Illuminations Lightworks factory, and has taken more than two years to design and build. Standing at 11 metres high, the installation comprises six large-scale structures, known as ‘towers’, that are combined with state-of-the-art technology to create an immersive and interactive projection show themed on undiscovered creatures lurking in the depths of the deep sea. There are six towers in total with three varying designs based on sea gods from Greek mythology: Poseidon, Aphrodite, and Amphitrite. Aphrodite, the tallest of the three towers, is an impressive 7 metres wide, and 11 metres high! The installation, which has been manufactured at the Blackpool Illuminations Lightworks factory, will be situated on the Tower Festival Headland opposite The Blackpool Tower, across from the newly-reimagined Golden Mile section.
