GaiaNova and United VJs turned the York Castle Museum into an assault on the senses, as full scale animations were projected on to the front of the building, backed with a soundtrack featuring the likes of Adam Freeland. The projection brought York’s history to life, expertly matching old stories with modern technology and music. The result was an impressive cacophony of light and sound, and one not to be missed. Who says modern art is boring?
Over in Dean’s Park an altogether spookier exhibition was taking place, as Karen Monid’s Contours presented snippets of Viking and Saxon poetry with music from reproductions of instruments dating from as far back as the 8th century. With the Minster as a backdrop, the discordant sounds and old languages created an entirely eerie atmosphere, enhanced by the audience’s ability to walk through the exhibition thus centring them within the blend of noises. The perfect pre-Halloween ghostly treat.
