TraceNorth launch Wed 15th Dec

traceNorth is a large-scale data visualisation artwork, by artists Brigitta Zics and Tom Schofield, which will be projected on the side of Newcastle University’s King’s Gate building on Barras Bridge until early 2011.

We’d be delighted if you could join us for the launch of traceNorth on Wednesday 15 December at 5.30pm, Stage 3, Northern Stage for a drinks reception where Atau Tanaka, Director of Culture Lab, will officially open the artwork.

traceNorth is a unique digital artwork using organic, constantly changing shapes to represent the traffic flow in Newcastle city centre. Using traffic congestion data collected by Newcastle University and Newcastle City Council, Brigitta Zics and Tom Schofield interpret traffic cycles in the city as a living organism of movement and human presence.  The result is a beautiful, fluid and bold artwork in a high-profile setting.
