Altitude Music was behind the installation’s sound design and Bridgeman Art Library supplied the images for the project.
Victoria Trow, a creative at DigitasLBi, said: "To have an installation we've made from scratch on display in one of the most iconic buildings in London is a dream. It's the Barbican. And we've made something that's going in the Barbican!
"The team has been incredible – everyone has got on with it and made it happen in just one week. I can't wait to tell my nan. She doesn't get what I do, but she definitely knows what the Barbican is."
Other members of the team at DigitasLBi included Ricky Burgess, Kevin Mar-Molinero, Lorenzo Wood, Simon Attwater, Manuela Silva, Nick Collings, Anna Morley, Gavin McReady, Ian Huntington, Joanne Oatts, Katherine Hudson, Shaun Baker, Yuri Yoshimura and Craig Jones.
Hack the Barbican is a project where people with different skills and talents such as artists, technologists and entrepreneurs are given the opportunity to reinterpret the cultural centre.
