Mette Ramsgard Thomsen previous installation ‘Vivisection’

I’m pleased to announce after a lot of very high quality proposals, the INTERArChTIVE commission has been given to Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and Karin Bech, to develop their interactive installation ‘Slow Furl’ for the Architecture 08 festival in June at Lighthouse in Brighton. The proposal is to make a room size textile installation that acts and reacts on its inhabitation. The installation exists as a soft and pliable skin that lines the Lighthouse space. The skin shifts. As guests enter and move within the foyer, the skin moves creating new cavities and spaces, revealing slits and apertures. Full Press Release

INTERArChTIVE is a consortium of Lighthouse (Brighton), Architecture Centre Network, interactivearchitecture.org and RIBA (Sussex branch)
