8:30am
On the day of our exhibition, we arrived at the venue at 8:30am to begin setting up. We borrowed some cushions and low tables from Alison House and arranged the space according to our pre-designed layout. To make the area more inviting and comfortable, we added two extra cushions and set up additional screens for visitors to relax and enjoy the work.
Our installation was carefully placed in position, accompanied by the handmade flower sculpture, glowing orb lights, and LED strips to enhance the atmosphere. Ashley brought her projector light, which helped create a warm, immersive vibe. Meanwhile, other team members prepared printed materials, including postcards, flyers, and a step-by-step interaction guide, which we displayed at the entrance.
9:00am
At 9:00am, Philly arrived with microphones and lighting equipment. With his help, we started the technical setup and testing. There were some initial issues with audio connections and device compatibility, but Philly was quick to assist and troubleshoot. We then followed our planned schedule: testing audio and visual responsiveness.
During this process, we encountered a few problems — the microphone sensitivity was too low, which affected both the sound and the visuals in TouchDesigner. Ashley and Philly worked together to adjust the audio settings, while Hefan carefully fine-tuned the visuals to match our original intention.
10:30am
At the same time, Yixuan was documenting the whole process, taking behind-the-scenes footage and detail shots of the space and installation. Around 10:30am, a small group of meditation enthusiasts arrived for testing. We guided them through the experience and conducted some short interviews to collect feedback.
11:00am
By 11:00am, more and more visitors began to enter the space. Jules arrived as well, and he spent some time engaging deeply with our installation. He gave us valuable feedback — including actionable suggestions like improving the surround sound. Ashley and Philly began working on that right away.
11:30am
At 11:30am, the exhibition officially started. Everything ran smoothly, and many visitors interacted with the installation just as we had hoped. However, we also noticed a few unexpected issues and took the chance to interview some willing participants. The event wrapped up around 1:00pm.
