Quotes from the night:

Alec
“hertz was really exciting! As an artist I really enjoyed being able to see the patterns created and how I might be able to work with those. It was great to meet Juliet and be able to talk to her about the actual development of the work!”

Will
“Being able to visualise the patterns really helped me connect to the sound – I especially liked where the frequencies began to look like constellations and stars themselves. There was a real buzz from our visitors who were really intrigued by the subject matter I thought. Using art to be able to bring infrasound to life really seemed to work for them!”
