We attended GAFFTA on a rainy day and I was immediately taken by the sounds the art created. At first, when the tour guide turned on the displays i thought that the weather had turned into an incredible storm. The sound being generated sounded like the building was under siege from a beat down of rain that echoed throughout the building. Of coarse the weather had not started to act up, in fact it was the culmination of vibrating art pieces that summed up this sensation of sound. Every piece made by the Swiss artist Zimoun seemed to contain some form of motion, often with much randomness to it.
Frances was kind enough to let me have some pictures since i did not bring a camera.
As you can see most of the pieces on display involved tiny motors that moved objects around frantically. I enjoyed our visit to GAFFTA and like most others thought that one of the bonus's of this trip was the fact that the gallery was free with exception for donation. The venue was a bit small and only contained a few rooms but overall it was a very fun experience and i would go back to see another showing sometime in the future.
