On the day of the exhibition, setting up the audio equipments on live was relatively complicated, first of all, we needed to get a bunch of audio equipments we had booked in the Music Store. How to arrange the audio cables and power cables more efficiently and how to arrange the audio cables and power cables without hindering the audience’s visit and feeling became the main focus of my attention. In order to prevent the speakers from falling off accidentally, we also reinforced each speaker with tape. The cables were not allowed to pass through the audience experience area in order to reduce the risk to the safety of the audience and the safety of the installations.
After experiencing the visual and auditory impact of our group’s project in person during the testing phase of the project on the day of the exhibition, I was very excited because I was confident in our project from the testing phase.
After the exhibition had started, I continued to observe the expressions and reactions of the audience to our project, and I also talked to some of them to get their feedback on our project. I have to say that many of the audiences were very interested in our project and gave us good feedback on our project.
Although the whole exhibition would be a lot of work for every member of the group, I think it was all worth it. If there is another opportunity to do another exhibition like this, there are better solutions I think in terms of live audio installation settings to support the immersion and surround sounds of the project.
In the future, I think this project could be used to show details of historical buildings, future architectural visions and real-life immersions and studies, which could be more visually intuitive and aurally enjoyable for the audience. In this project exhibition, as I personally did not have the relevant courses for the other members of the group, it was refreshing to learn what they learned in the course, and to learn a lot about what Max could do in practice and what we could do with the software and sensors, which really made me curious about Max. I hope to learn how to use Max afterwards to create something like this project, which has not only cultural but also commercial value, which is great.
