La vernissage (the opening night)


After two months of solid work, here it is...
I had an amazing time and am really glad I stayed for the two months instead of just one. I managed to see how the whole exhibiton came together and how each membewr of the team brought their own bit to it. The strangest thing was then seeing the public come in and wander round being able to touch your work rather than just view it as they would in a theatre.

the visitors were first brought inot this room with the reef , there were lots of shells on the floor to walk on as this would be the first sounds they hear...


each of the boxes with text was on springs, so anytime some stood on them, theywould make noise. this would stop again when the person came off the box, when you have a room full of people walking around, its soon got pretty loud...

the noises from the boxes were recorded by certain people, in the next room each of these tubes had informationon the people that collected these sounds. the infomation would only show up when someone walked in front of the tube as each one was rigged with a motion detector...



the vending machine room, where people could listen to different sounds, this is where most of the objects were also displayed, including the guitar fish...
