100 Story Building presents Tendrils installation

This special installation—presented by 100 Story Building in collaboration with artist Joseph O’Farrell (JOF)—will be seen curling its way up through the floor of MPavilion from 4 to 15 January.

What are these coloured wires curling upwards? What are the funny-shaped devices waving from their ends? And what is all the sound coming from them? Scientists have examined these growths and concluded that only people with very sensitive eyes and ears can interpret them. In other words, children.

If you’re curious about the origins of these strange sprouts and would like to help us translate the messages they’re transmitting, join in at one of the Tendrils children’s workshops and write or draw what you hear!
