As we set up our installation, a reporter from Manchester Evening News came and interviewed me about our event. It was great to get Media interest, and to spread the word of our event.

Some of our boxes contained handcrafted wind chimes. These were cut and assembled in the metal workshops, and then attatched to the boxes. this meant that as people moved and played with the cubes and their arrangements, they would sometimes here a light jingle of chimes.

This is our group at the end of our day yesterday. We received a lot of interest from the public who joined in playing with and drawing on our installation, and considered the day a success.

Arriving to site
Moving such a large amount of cardboard is heavier then it looks. A taxi picked up all of our nets yesterday morning and dropped them near to Piccadilli Gardens for us to then carry to our chosen site and assemble. Carrying them across the public space already attracted some attention, curiosity and interest.

Cutting 60 cube nets out of cardboard and Monday and Tuesday this week. As they are nets, their transportation to site is made much easier. They can then be assembled on site, with string and cable ties, making the project much like a 'pop up' installation. Disassembled again at the end of the day; the installation is made to be transportable and quickly moved between locations.
