News from Peterborough City Council

Peterborough's Space⁴ Gallery will be playing host to an innovative art installation from tomorrow (Friday 9 May) until 22 June. The 'V.I.P. Room' is an interactive multimedia art installation by Chinese artists '8gg', a Beijing-based husband and wife team Fu Yu and Jiang Haiqing, who have travelled from China to the UK to see the project come to fruition.

 

The V.I.P room is a multimedia art installation, which is suitable for people of all ages. It features projected clips of music, sound and vision that participants can control by sitting on huge computer keys. The installation is touring the country and is supported by Arts Council England and the Arts Council Lottery Fund.

 

The project was commissioned by 'Folly', a leading digital arts organisation, which is committed to enabling new audiences to explore art through technology. For more information about Folly, please visit www.folly.co.uk
