Editor's Notes
- The very first Octorama was part of the People and Place Exhibition in 2003
- Since then it has been seen many times and the idea has developed. We started to transmit the sounds from a computer using Propellerheads Reason and an 8 output Soundcard
- In 2006 we produced the Dreams Hopes and Wishes exhibition with Ormesby Comprehensive.
- The Octorama is a multi media digital arts installation with 8 screens and 8 speakers. This is our model. The real one will be 14 metres in diameter
- It was proposed that we run an Exhibition at Loftus Town Hall to tie in with Heritage Open Days
- It was time to see if we could make the process portable. Here a demonstration on the theory of using waste pipe for the construction.
- We experimented and decided it could be done
- And so a large quantity of waste pipe was purchased.
- And delivered to Loftus Town Hall
- Where we made several experimental builds
- A nd purchased extra goods at the local hardware store
- Part of the build took place elsewhere
- Many of the team to build the installation are Loftus Town Councillors
- The Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland Visits
- Cllr Linda Bell, Mayor of Loftus and Paul Davies of East Cleveland Community Development
