As dusk fell over Sittingbourne in Kent, a new star appeared over the estuary, 100 feet high, tethered above a boat that slowly moved along Milton Creek with the tide and at dawn the star slowly sank from view only to reappear, higher than before, with the passing of each successive night.

Night became day thanks to a 45kw lamp which internally illuminated, an 11 metre diameter helium-filled sphere which was visible for 21 miles. The man-made star named “Sleepers Awake” was commissioned by Artlands, as part of a contemporary art programme that explored the identity of the North Kent, UK and attracted media interest and large crowds to the area and installation over the exhibiting nights
