In Periscope
Bus Projects
Saturday 29 May 2010 to Sunday 30 May 2010
Opening Saturday 29 May 2010 Saturday 29 May and Sunday 30 May from 11am
In Periscope is a guided city tour see through a wondrous, mechanical, horizon altering, memory inducing looking device - all neatly packed into a helmet. The project continues the Affective Urbanism series of small, independent works that explore our emotional and physiological response toward the urban environment.
Beginning in Centre Place, you’ll be led on a guided tour of a familiar part of the city seeing only what is above you. Like the deliberate act of taking a photograph, the act of putting on the periscope helmet primes you for a new way of seeing. By looking up without lifting your head back, you disrupt your usual experience of the world rushing towards you. Sounds are not heard together with what is seen and you must piece together fragments of what you see to form something whole; In Periscope is an exercise in sensory reconnection and memory creation.
