[accessibleimage] Sound exhibition The Dark

Hi,
Heard about this exhibition on the radio. The "experience is 
made up of a totally dark, enclosed room with unique digital 
sound affects designed to transport visitors onto a ghost 
slave ship". It is in London held at the Dana Centre, and 
later Birmingham.  They have also made it available via the 
internet. I wasn't able to connect, so can't say how it
is. It also gives the alternative to write and get a
CD of the exhibition if you live in the U.K. 
Regards,
Lisa

.... a virtual reality experience called The Dark at the
Science Museum's Dana Centre in London. The experience is
made up of a totally dark, enclosed room with unique digital
sound affects designed to transport visitors onto a ghost
slave ship. The aim is to encourage people to use senses
other than sight. Admission is free, is open between 12 noon
and 8pm and is on until April 30th.

A unique experience, The Dark gives you an opportunity to
explore a specially created three-dimensional audio
environment in which the echoes of virtual ghosts inhabit a
haunted soundscape. 
In The Dark your eyes will be of no use to you - instead,
you will need to rely on your ears and your imagination to
find your way through a maze of troubled ghosts and unlock
the mysteries of their lives.

You can experience The Dark in two ways: in an installation
which will tour the UK and on this website.

The installation is a completely dark space which groups of
up to fifteen people can enter and experience
simultaneously. 

The Dark online is an individual experience, best listened
to through headphones with the room lights dimmed or off.

This website hosts the innovative 3D online version of The
Dark which can be explored using a standard computer with
sound capabilities and access to the internet. 
You will be able to hear an extended version of the Dark
soundscape - inhabited by the same ghosts that haunt The
Dark installation. 

However, online, you will also have more time and more
events to explore to solve the mysteries of The Dark. 

The Dark website is the first virtual world on the web with
a completely black screen. Visitors to the online The Dark
experience will be able to navigate through this virtual
world in a similar way to navigating through computer games,
using the keyboard and the mouse.
