The front entrance commission was awarded to artist Seiko Kinoshita who has been inspired by the #HexPod work package from Re:Make to create a family of hexagonal modules. #HexWall located in the entrance of The Silk Mill will be an interactive piece through the use of lights and sounds controlled by a Raspberry Pi.
Yesterday was a very exciting day for Seiko and the project team here as the modules were installed on the entrance wall.
The aim of the commission was to enhance the entrance and exit space with a visually inspiring, textural installation that articulated ‘making’ and ‘materials’. Andrea Hadley-Johnson worked with Seiko to select a dynamic material palette of woods, warm coloured acrylic with accents of copper and aluminium.
Watch this space for further updates on the project!
