Eureka Festival

Eliot Britton: GirlSpace

 

 

Montreal Science Centre, Zone 27

Put together some soundscapes for Nils Peters and his spatialisation system.  The visitors were able to position sound sources and take themselves on a mini sound oddesy.  Farm, Port, Forrest, Cityscape, Concert hall, etc.    It was cute when the kids would trigger the thunder sound then duck down when it cracked right above their heads.

Also, made friends with a girl at Zone 61 at the Montreal Science Centre. She let me play with their new reactable! Very interesting to get my hands on one of those things.
