Whilst walking through Millennium Square in the centre of Leeds today I noticed the usual BBC screen was no longer displaying the usual news and weather. Instead, on display was an image showing a reflection of Millennium Square. As I walked past I could see myself with circles and shapes surrounding me, in addition ambient noises were playing simultaneously.
According to the Leeds Expo Festival website, it is the UK’s largest Free festival of sound art and experimental music.
The installation that I experienced in Millennium Square was commissioned to artist Tom Betts and was called ‘Untitled Application’. More about the installation can be found here.
Interactive installations are often enjoyed by the public, having an element in a piece that people can play with is always an added benefit and something to consider, especially when designing ambient media.
