November 29, 2004 at 5:30 pm in News No Comments
For the next 12 months Iliyana Nedkova will be part of a dedicated creative team including artists and public art innovators Alexander Hamilton and Richard Ashrowan. Together they will be delivering a half million pound project under the name Threshold – an ambitious platform for a new generation of digital public art for Horsecross – the organisation responsible for the management of Perth Concert Hall which will open to the public in September 2005.
The Threshold creative team will ensure that Perth Concert Hall will become a ‘smart building’ on a par with only a handful of other venues in Europe. The investment in technology, software and artists will add a layer of interactivity to the public areas and enable the building to change its look and feel at the touch of a button or a sensor.
