PILOT
The pilot installation ran from 16th - 25th June at the Gardner Arts Centre. The partners for this installation were Sound Solutions and Earshot.
"Fascinating
insight into the secret life of a charismatic building. An experience
to open the eyes and ears! Would love to see this transferred to other
buildings, well done and I hope you take this further afield."
Oliver Heath, TV personality and interior designer
"I liked
the way the sounds grew, reflecting our busy times and then calming down
at the end of the day, and where there were sensors in the café bar, I
felt like I was part of the exhibition. I really liked that."
Lynsey Cameron, Cafe Bar Supervisor, Gardner Arts Centre
PTHHH

building at the launch event
"Machines
for Singing is full of exciting potential and is attracting interest from
architects, new music networks and developers. This is exactly the kind
of innovative, experimental public art project that Art Plus was designed
to support."
Stephanie Fuller, Public Arts & Architecture Officer, ACE SE
"Even
when I was on my own I felt like I had company ...
it brought the building to life."
Miriam Randall, Cafe Bar Manager, Gardner Arts Centre
