Over the past month we’ve been touring our immersive installation created by Sense students from Peterborough, Luton and Cornwall.
The project has been supported by Metal Peterborough and Metal Southend and we’ve also collaborated with sound art consultants Call & Response and tactile technology experts Subpac
The tour kicked off at Metal Peterborough on the 18th June:
It was great to see such a mix of visitors, which included local artists, passers-by, dignitaries and of course bus loads of students from regional centres including Hampton and Bourne.
Two features of the installation are a vibrating sign with 6 speakers attached to the back of it and the amazing vibrating packs from Subpac
As part of the launch in Peterborough, some of the Hampton students performed in the Metal Garden:
