The story

The exhibition combined material, visual and sonic languages across MAAT Central and the garden, requiring different technical conditions for individual works within a single exhibition system.

Our work

GGS was responsible for the audiovisual implementation of the exhibition across works by multiple artists: projection and sound systems, AV integration, LED wall installation and integration, custom steel structures where required, programming of the technical systems, and maintenance of the complete installation throughout the exhibition, including remote troubleshooting when required. Within Black Ancient Futures, GGS installed and programmed Gabriel Massan & Collaborators’ game-based work Third World: The Bottom Dimension, integrating nine LCD displays and two gaming stations into the wider exhibition AV system.
