Liverpool Tate...

Hey everyone... On the 28 of September, as part of my fashion course, my peers and I visited Liverpool to go see the exhibition at the Tate... :D ... When we arrived we were told that we were not allowed to bring our cameras in which is a shame because I can not show you a visual for what I'm gonna discuss. The room that most appealed to me was the top room because as you entered there was a wall with headphones hanging on hooks. We were invited to put the headphones on and choose a channel. For each channel there was different music that would play into the headphones. I choose the funky disco music because it was fun. With the headphones on and disco playing in my eardrums I entered the room and viewed the art. This was a completely different concept to viewing art and I found this a lot more interesting than silent room full of people staring at art. People were bobbing their heads to the beat and a few of my peers plucked up the courage to dance on the lit up dance floor in the centre of the room. This exercise confirmed that music creates emotions.
