The "Panopticon atom", situated on a hill-top above the village of Wycoller in Pendle District, Lancashire, in the North-West of England. This Panopticon is an "arts and regeneration project" of the East Lancashire Environmental Arts Network. It involved the construction of a series of 21st-century landmarks or Panopticons (structures providing a comprehensive view) across East Lancashire, England, as symbols of the renaissance of the area. Four large-scale sculptures were commissioned, designed and constructed over a six year period for the districts of Blackburn, Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale. "The Halo" in Haslingden (Rossendale) was the last sculpture in the series to be erected in 2007". VIDEOS here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrCuBw-3Hns www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTb-kR2BFU8
