Penny Grist - Interactive Installation Exploring Visual Memory and Reference of Colour
Award funding was used to develop and test an interactive installation / educational tool that interprets Werner's 'Nomenclature of Colour' taken by Darwin on the voyage of the Beagle. The viewer steps into pools of coloured light and triggers / catches images matching the colour along with a related sound, eg a butterfly will seem to be held in the hands with the accompanying noise of its wings flapping.
