Dear All,
Following on from recent discussions about collections content on flickr, we
would like to introduce you to an exciting digital artwork that Manchester
Art Gallery has just launched - Chained Reactions. The artwork takes you on
audio-visual journeys based on objects in our collection that are linked to
the transatlantic slave trade and incorporates visitor interpretations to
these objects that are drawn from our Chained Reactions flickr group. Having
flickr as a key component of the artwork means that the visual element of
the narrative journeys is constantly evolving as group members add more
images. Chained Reactions was created by digital developers The Believe
Collective.
Depending upon your network connection, the load time can be significant,
but we think the result is worth the wait.
