Just
Passing Through is an interactive installation which incorporates fused
coloured glass panels, light and sound to alter the atmosphere of a
corridor which joins the Swan Shopping Centre, Eastleigh with the Swan
Leisure Complex. The intention is to alter passers by's experience of
the space as they move from the hectic activity of shopping to the relaxing
delights of the leisure centre.
The
artwork was commissioned by Eastleigh Borough Council, Cordwell Developers
and Scottish Amicable as part of the development of the new leisure
complex in 2008.
As
you pass through the corridor triggered sound relating to the glass
on the wall evokes the transition from shopping to leisure. You move
through the business of shopping, to sitting and relaxing, out into
nature and finally to the sounds of time passing and imagery inspired
by turning film reels. Soundscapes incorporate locally recorded tracks
edited into rhythms to soothe the senses.
