A detailed description of Positive Spin for those who are visually impaired
Positive Spin is a 5.5m high box-like unit suspended on an arch surround covered in cabochon lights. Three illuminated rotating drums sit at its centre with illustrated symbols on, similar to a fruit machines. A light box in the shape of a rainbow sits on top of the unit and suspended above that is an arch of neon multi-coloured letters that spell POSITIVE SPIN.
A detailed description of Positive Spin for those who are hearing impaired
A psychedelic inspired soundscape, reminiscent of arcade machines loop while you interact with the machine.
Visual and Light considerations
Set across 3 large curved screens, a series of animated symbols will scroll past the viewer, beneath each screen is located a large button which allows the viewer to stop the animation and select a symbol, once all 3 symbols have been selected the machine responds with a tightly choreographed pulsing lighting and video display and plays back a fortune reading across the screens, before gently resetting for the next audience member.
Noise considerations
The installation is accompanied by a soft, ambient soundscape with clear poppy chord sequences and tactile sounds that define the gaming elements.
General considerations
- The approach and circulation areas are level (please note that the area is cobbled and has flagstone and as such not totally even). Access to the installation is ramped.
-
Whilst the installation itself does not contain any seating areas, benches are situated in the vicinity of the installation in the area
