Peter Sedgley is recognised as a pioneer in the development and application of kinetic lighting technology in the visual arts. He was one of the few British artists to be included in the pivotal exhibition The Responsive Eye at the Museum of Modern Art, New York in 1965. Along with Bridget Riley he was considered the new hope of English Op art.

 

The work has been included in several museum exhibitions, including Dynamo – A Century of Light and Movement in Art 1913-2013, Grand Palais, Paris, 2013, as well as Electronic Superhighway, at the Whitechapel Gallery, 2016. A related work is currently on show at Tate Modern, having been purchased by the Tate in 1970.
