A chance to follow in the footsteps of legends! (Well, maybe not 'follow' - more like 'creatively disrupt the glories of the past....')

Last night ‘First Breath’ launched at @factoryintl - a mesmerising installation that shoots powerful beams of light up high above the city’s skyline and slowly pulses to represent the moment that a baby takes its first gasp of air in Greater Manchester.
