On the 11th October 2007 I visited Manchester for Europe's Urban Screens exhibition. One of the works on show was Circulez Y'a Rien a Voir and it was very interesting to see the insallation live.

Due to its size and noise the installation seemed to attract alot of attention from the audience. It reminded me of how an urban Graffiti area attracts young people. It was very interesting and questioned how you think you move through an urban environment, changing your perception of the area.

The only problem with it was that because the screen was specifically set up, it looked too much like an experiment. It looked too clinical and for me didn't seem to fit in with its surrounding architecture, thus diluting the urban interactive illusion.
