People Doing Strange Things with Electricity

Last night we checked out the Opening Night of an electricity-based exhibit.



The exhibit was being shown at a gallery in lower Queen Anne.



Some of the pieces were hands-on installations, while others demonstrated the many uses of electricity.. from sound manipulation to temperature control. Here is a piece that is completely powered by solar energy!


The keys of this "organ" were different circuits that when pressed made sparks.

One of the interactive exhibits was Metamorphosis. Participants became insects through the manipulation of their senses. They explored a "backyard" and hunted for nectar. The artist manipulated our vision, hearing, touch to be that of either a bee or butterfly. Laura, Tom, Jess, and Brian all took part in this exhibit and felt it was a very interesting and disorienting experience. Take a look at the slide show of their experience!
