Polygon at The Tate Modern!

Image result for tate modern
A mixed age group of our pupils were lucky enough to work the local art company InFocus on a project to produce examples for an interactive installation at The Tate Modern art gallery in London.
The installation was for 'Nada Airlines'  -  inferring you are going nowhere!



We had a great time making gauges, dials, panels, buttons, control sticks.....     everything you might find in a cockpit of an plane, but all saying the opposite of what you might expect. Some of our work was then used to start the cockpit and to inspire visitors as to how they could make their own additions.




As you can see from the photos from the Tate, the installation was high up the building in a corner window, giving the feeling of being in an actual cockpit, which then got filled by others' work.
 A fantastic experience for us, and Well Done Boys!
