Interactive!

Visited this exhibition at the Barbican Centre in London. What a hidden gem. The buildings architecture was amazing and the piece I went to see was a real INTERACTIVE piece. As you walk down a dark corridor there are images of hands playing guitars being projected onto the walls, at this point you do not see anything. When carrying on down the walk way you then enter this large room with zebra finches flying all around you. They land on guitars and symbols that have been placed flat on their stands. Connected to these are amps so when the birds land on the instruments they create sounds.

The sounds created were random and came out of the amps in different places, the irregular effect created was quite unique.

I love the free feeling of this piece and how simple it seemed but very effective. It was really enjoyable.
