Lighthouse, Brighton
18 June - 19 July 2008
Slow Furl is a collaboration between Mette Ramsgard Thomsen and Karin Bech of Centre for Interactive Technology and Architecture, Copenhagen, and the School of Architecture and Design, University of Brighton.
Slow Furl is a room size textile installation that acts and reacts on its inhabitation. The installation exists as a soft and pliable skin that lines the Lighthouse space. The skin shifts. As guests enter and move within the foyer, the skin moves imperceptibly at deep timeframes, creating new cavities and spaces, revealing slits and apertures.
Slow Furl is an INTERArChTIVE commission for the Architecture 08 festival. INTERArChTIVE is a consortium of: Architecture Centre Network, Interactive Architecture dot Org, Lighthouse and RIBA Sussex Branch. The commission has received funding from Lighthouse, Arts Council England, RIBA Sussex Branch, School of Architecture and Design - University of Brighton, Brighton and Hove City Council and Esmee Fairbairn Foundation.
