Questioning your surroundings
THE EXPERIENCE
This space acts as an experimental space facilitating an exhibition of temporary intrigues the visitor to question everyday objects posed in-front of them.
The exhibition explores :
Physical places we store information established in the archives in the land of outdated data
Trading of data through manipulation of furnishings associated with the New York Stock exchange and the meaning of the marketplace
Developments in society reconsidering the physical marketplace as a place to buy and sell information rather than goods.
Data is a constant thread in our society, this space lets us question and challenge design choices and the failure in designers ambitions
The GPS site acts as a space to explore these topics and really think about what effects constantly producing.

FACILITIES :
An experience that allows users to inhabit the space yet aims to constantly question the data they give away and the movements they make in regards to others around them and objects within the space.
THE PATHWAY

THE ARCH
Three golden archways are presented, pass through one
{1} Data Archive

{3} The Coding Base and/or experience
​
ENTRANCE
The glass facade welcomes you, choose to go to the cinema/cafe entrance or venture through to the experience
THE EXPERIENCE
Pass through into the exhibition space of the experience, acknowledge the point representations of objects you take for granted, USB, transparent Goggles, a humble pen and a model of the space you stand within. The sound of bugs flickers in the cylinders surrounding making it hard to focus you begin to feel bad for these bugs until you realise they are 3D printed replicas with battery packs within.
Finally, you pass through into the Data Market, here you can explore your data but only if you are willing to give some vital details to the stand owners in return, you will probably do as you rarely question when people ask such of you.

TRANSFER
THE VIEWING PLATFORM
Once you’re done in the gift shop (market), make your way to the viewing platform to experience the space on another level. Peer down on others passing through the experience much like you did so unaware. Watch as they flippantly give up their information to strangers in order to progress throughout the experience.
THE CINEMA
If there is no event or screening in the Cinema you are free to pass through. Watch one of the films on the screen and question everything in the room. What is on the other side? Who is on the other side? Can they see what I see? Is that side better? Why is it so loud?
CODING BASE
Three accessible rooms to learn and share experiences. Learn from experts in coding and see where they work.
The Garden
Should you be traveling by train or by foot you may have already witnessed illuminated banks of information outside. The banks of data that facilitate a space where former gas cylinders once stood hosting the gas for the citzens of the city which has been replaced by the information that has become just as valuable. Exaduration of the data sinking into the ground facilitates a question for passers by and enables us to think more about the information we recieve and transmit.
