The Coin- Operated Artist Build


So the installation has been made, performed in few locations around the country and now is back in storage since the last post. But, as promised here are the photos from the rest of the build. The offical page with all information and photos of the actual show is coming very soon but for now join and 'like' my new facebook page to make sure you get all the updates as soon as they come out.

And now, the photos.

The coin-operated mechanism. That works!

The gorgeous doors!

Pete Montford's wall. He stands behind this wall and the audience interact with him via the switches and windows.

Everything going white...

Getting there...

Bit of a jump now and also almost the last image but everything went very mental after the point of the photo above. Had no space or time capacity to be able to even think about taking photographs during the final weeks of gettting it ready. The photo below is bad but it's a picture of the back of Pete Montford's wall when it was installed at the Secret Garden Party.
The electrics grew and grew until it was an almost incomprehensible jungle of wires. But, at the end of it all, it worked and it was understandable. But only with huge thanks to Mr. Tom Allan amd his massive hands in this whole project. Without him it'd never have got to the level it did, and long may the progression continue! Here's a photo of the finished product at the Garden Party as a little treat for getting to the bottom of this ridiculously long blog! Look out for the plush new webpage coming soon!
