Manchester

Home
As a whole, it had the elements that are traditionally associated with a gallery, blurbs, titles and a sense of importance. My main problem with it was that the Vr stuff was so exclusive that you had to book it and it took so long when you got to go on it. The experiences were interesting and you got to interact with the exhibition but there was a bit of disorganization as there was no way of finding out whether the VR stuff was available. 

 

the Deepfake fake news installation was really interesting and captivating. The idea of the game was really cool, and engaging as anyone that was there could take part in it, and people joined in. 
The Location of Home worked nicely in my opinion as it is modern and it makes sense that it is host to a modern exhibition with VR. The work looked a bit like it was an afterthought in the space in some places like the wardrobe as it was just the clothing rails on the one side, but the rest melted into the exhibition space quite nicely.

It seemed a bit weird, the only indication of the fact that there was anything there was this vinyl outside. when we went inside there was no indication of where the work was situated. 

the work did not have any explanation with it. they were also placed in odd places it seemed like they just wanted them to be as big as possible and just chose somewhere to place them. most of them had to be viewed on an angle because of the balconies.  

there was no cohesive thought put into it. as they ranged from a0 to however big the blah one is and why did the choose this one to be blown up this big. 

Throughout the entire exhibition, there was horrible lighting that erased the elements close to the light but it did not showcase the designs that were further down. 

The work seemed that it needed to be edited down as they did not get to have their moment. 

The Whitworth

the wallpaper installations were really interesting and I would want this wallpaper where ever I could. The showcasing of historical wallpaper and the recreations of it was really interesting. 

The exhibition of a long memory seemed like a stark contrast from the colourfull and historical wallpaper bits. The use of symmetry to resemble the brain and references the printed work on the left and right side of it.

The slow dans showcasing THE WOOLWORTHS CHOIR OF 1979, remembering that fatal fire in Manchester, will be shown in the city for the first time. it was a bit weird for me but the 3d of the church in the back of the room was really intriguing with its simple yet delicate lines. 

this room was interesting and gave a creepy feel to it. I have yet to quite understand the room on the right the tie, tongue, and felt-tip
The idea of having the immersive experience with the several screens is really relevant to the second brief with the idea of creating a feel.
