Exhibitions
I spend the day in Central London visiting a few places.
The curve was purely and interactive project. The curve was based on several projections and all of them had sets of speaker which were playing different radio stations. As soon as one would walk in front of the screen the system could define the figure and draw a red line around the shadow of one on the screen. Depending on how close one was to the screen or walking in a direction left to right/ right to left, the radio stations changed. Several people could walk into one screen but then I don’t know how that would work as there weren’t many people around for me to see how the radio stations would crash into each other all at the same time.

2. Under Scan – Trafalgar Square
Because I went to Trafalgar Square around 4-5pm so I didn’t get a very good video of the work that was displaying there. As there was still some sunlight around, and the work was based on projections on the ground, the movement in the video can’t be seen properly. I personally feel that the projection is of a saved film/ clip that keep on repeating rather than it being interactive with the movement around cause by humans walking on the ground.

Less Than Three
The gallery only exhibiting 7 pieces of work held a very attractive interactive art work. It was based on light and sound. You would say a word into a telecom and lights would turn on and go round in their designed shape and then you would hear the word back but with a different pitch of volume.
It was called ‘Less Than Three’ and described as LED strips, 2 intercoms, computer dimming racks.
Pulse Tank
This was a tank that contained water in a dark room described as Ripple tank, heart rate sensors, solenoids, computer, spotlight, custom software and hardware, pump and chlorine.
The tank hand sensors around it which detected the heart beat rate and made ripples in water according to it.
4. Lisson Gallery – Edgeware Road.
The Gallery was under maintenance so I couldn’t have a look at the work the gallery was holding.

Case Study: Brendan Dawes

Though the designer must have put a lot of effort to create a site like this but it has too much going on at the same time. It’s really hard to concentrate to one thing and personally I didn’t understand a word on the main page. Attractive flash work but not at the right place.
