For the Peter Geschwind exhibition Automatic, we provided a similar system again to help integrate the visual and audio aspects of the show. The exhibition ran for a period of 12 weeks.
‘The first' solo UK show by the Swedish artist Peter Geschwind fully utilized the scale and industrial aesthetic of The Exchange. Western consumer culture was brought alive in an installation made of everyday household objects, construction material and power tools - all activated by sensors detecting the visitor’s movements.
At first this automated labyrinth is playful, an absurd amusement park, full of whistling and jangling noises, but as visitors explored deeper a darker undercurrent emerges. With projections and shadow-plays the physical room clashes with a hallucinatory, virtual world.’
“It has been invaluable having expertise in Penzance able to problem solve and provide solutions to AV requirements for our exhibition and events programme...”
Blair Todd, Exhibition Manager at Newlyn Art Gallery and The Exchange
