Interactive Installations

In response to the show Arcaladanza, Charlotte Austen and I designed, installed and facilitated a series of interactive installations for the family Sadler’s Wells family weekender 2015, the event brought in over 1000 visitors over the course of the day.

Below are examples of the installations.

‘Sticky Wall’ rainbow wall created out of felt with felt shapes, pieces and materials for visitors to create their own shapes.

Wishing Cloud

 

‘Wishing Cloud’ the 3 x 1 meter cloud beat empty of clouds and at floor level. The children were encouraged to attach a cloud with a wish onto the cloud to help it rise and display the rainbow. The cloud was raised slowly throughout the day.

‘Knitting Nancy’ we 3d printed an enlarged knitting nanacy based on the traditional knitting toy. Nancy was used by the visitors and over 300 meters worth of rope was used throughout the day. Yoga balls were placed into the sculpture and this was used as a seat.
