Pre-Spectacle

Tom and I had the chance to head down to the CAC while they were setting up the new show “Spectacle” and lend a hand. The exhibit is all about the art of the music video so there were lots of monitors to get set-up, queued and ready to loop.

While storms raged outside, we took shelter in the museum and fiddled with electronics all day.It  was pretty thrilling to see everything come together in a mad dash of activity, and more fun to see the
actual content of the exhibit and design of the exhibition space.

The show runs through September 3, 2012. Highly recommended.
