| Note: | The forest is home to all kinds of creatures, moving invisibly but not silently around. The Seeking Sounds Nest invites everyone who ventures inside to build their own: Sound Seeker, an amazing device that will allow you to hear these creatures! Designed by Senior Lecturer in Design at Bath Spa University Neil Glen, using everyday materials such as discarded packaging and paper, leaves and twigs, to construct a device which is ‘activated’ by the addition of an RFID tag. At key activation points, amplified sounds will play. Sounds may come from underneath, inside, or above: birdsong, bats, small mammals scurrying through leaves, wasps gnawing on wood to make paper for nests, under soil movement such as earthworms, and other unidentifiable sounds… Explorers to Forest of Imagination will experience an audio enhanced reality and will be able to explore a physical forest to discover that there is another layer of reality beyond the immediately visible. |
