Silence Please!

In 2001, Readipop was commissioned by Highdown School, Reading to produce a site-specific digital art installation. Through it's structured workshop programmes, run during school time, Readipop's workshop leaders worked with pupils to film images for the project and to write and record a soundtrack. The work captures and reflects upon the rhythms of a typical school day and the final finished piece was shown to pupils at the school at a special screening event.

Check out the finished work below (note: it's a long piece, so download time may be long.) Alternatively, for more background on how the project ran, check out the behind the scenes footage.
