BLACKPOOL ILLUMINATIONS PROJECT – BRAIN CONTAINER PROJECTOngoing (Autumn 2014)
“Brain Container” is a lit, moving art installation housed in a customised cargo container; a giant interactive light box.
Designed by artist Jo Berry, the piece is made up of a series of thirty-six cast acrylic discs that are hung, lit and rotated
The discs, which feature images of the human brain, are made up of a series of laser cut coloured Perspex panels that have been glued together and then cast in clear acrylic from this series of design drawings.
The artwork has been lit and installed by Blackpool Council’s Illuminations team and forms an exciting new part of this year’s display.
The display is set to music with composer, Angela Slater, having designed the accompanying sound in response to imagery she viewed in Jo’s studio.
