Between two sheets of perspex, 32 channels have been woven out of a transparent plastic tubing. Extending approx. 30m, these channels run from the outside of the building, over and through te front entrance, and thenm along the ceiling of the foyer till the entrance to the auditorium. Into each tubular channel, electro-magnetic valves can release measured quantities of either air or dark-coloured water. Microcomputer control of these valves articulates the respective volumes of air and liquid flow, so that images can be programmed to appear and move through the sculpture. Images and text is created on a video-touch screen, whcih, being situated in the foyer of the theatre, also allows visitors to the theatre to put images and messages into the sculpture.
