3 days of Noisy Sciencey mayhem: the full Acousatron installation, workshops all day, science demonstrations, Noise Jamming, Audio Assault Buggy, Nose Testing, the works.
Acousatron Interactive Sound Installation
11-5pm Fri, Sat, Sun in the Noisy Dome. Drop-in but you must have your nose tested first.
Our wonderfull (and extremely professional) crew of performers, facilitators, demonstrators & workshop leaders.
Demonstrations took place daily between 12 and 5.
Cymatics: sound visualisations; patterns are generated using sprinkled grains on a metal plate which is then bowed. Young visitors could also try bowing.
Oobleck (non-Newtonian fluids/Goop/dancing cormflour aliens). A thick mixture of cornflour, water and alien blood seems to come alive and dance when the speaker cone is vibrated with the righ power and frequency. Young visitors can feel the vibrations and touch the alien, which can get messy.
Workshops age 8
Audio Assault Buggy
Our roaming walkabout scince busking unit testing noses and getting a crowd. Participants get a ‘Nose Tested’ stamp to jump the queue at the Acousatron dome.
