We The Curious
The exhibition is based on 10,000 questions collected from every postcode in Bristol. Seven of these questions were selected and are central to the exhibition. Questions on themes such as happiness, the universe, invisibility, discovery, your soul, illness, and time. Kiss the Frog was responsible for developing multiple interactive games.
Can your soul be seen by science?
A big portrait screen acts as a big mirror where visitors are asked if they think they have a soul. And if so, where do they think the soul would sit? Through the use of Kinect camera technology, visitors can place the soul in an avatar on screen. After this, they can see what other visitors have done.
What colour makes you happy?
A straightforward setup with a powerful impact. By changing the colour on-screen using an interactive colour wheel, you can change the colour of the entire room. Experience how colour affects your mood and feelings.
In one of the games, visitors put down their hands to start. Zooming out from their hand to the level of the universe to return the journey zooming in up to the level of blood vessels in their hand. A game that invites you to reflect on your place in our universe.
“We needed to value people’s questions as much as our own expertise.”
